She runs up to 30 degrees of ignition advance!

My temp was 92-94 on the open road and up to 102 sitting in a car park for 10 mins idling after a trip.

Litres per 100k is interesting to watch, as it TPS, volts, air intake temp etc...its all good geeky stuff.

PS. I cleared fault codes that were stored from when I changed the O2 sensors.

PPS. For those looking for compat' mine is an 01 build 02 complianced last of the rectangle headlight D2 V8 man

Nice thought, But I can assure you the engine doesnt make 160kw stock :cool:

No torque sensor on the engine either... You'll find the system is using a "calculation" and trying to get close...

4x4v8. "works perfectly" might be stretching it. It certainly does report and clear engine codes but in my brief experience beyond that it doesn't help much with ABS and other codes. Also the manufacturer specific codes(e.g.p1590) seem to be non-specific unless further testing is done by more advanced diagnostic equipment.
Its better than nothing but not the "holy Grail".:(
