Does anyone know for sure if you need a stock chip in the klr for LR m-tune? The kit does not include a klr chip and I no longer have a stock chip. I kind of remember talking to Josh one time and he said that any chip that works in the klr should work just fine but I'm not sure. I'm going to shoot Lindsey an email to verify too.

....update: Lindsey said you can use any klr chip.

I don't know the answer, but do you know what your aftermarket KLR chip does? The stock one does boost control, knock control and full load/WOT signalling to the DME. I would hope that any aftermarket mods would be limited to the area of boost control, in which case if you have a separate boost controller then it wouldn't matter.

Thanks for your help John, that gives me another search idea and a chance to research further.

I know from this era that there were quite a few differences in fuel and therefore settings on computers.

I just want to make sure before purchasing a chip or running an aftermarket ECU.

Just so we are all on the same page here, moderators are free to express their own personal opinions and views on any subject. We are enthusiasts too, and volunteer our time to help keep some order around here.

There is a thin line between moderator and active enthusiast. We keep that line in tact by not moderating threads we are active in, that would be a conflict of interest. As far as I can see refresh951 has not crossed that line in this thread.

Technically it's not a job, we are unpaid volunteers.

I'm a little curious why it's taken 5 months for you to quote me?

Probably because your posts were never reported

I've tried multiple laptops now, still no luck with the logger. My next goal is to verify wiring. I'm going to pull the DME harness and see if there isn't anything funky going in in there. This is my goal for Christmas break.

I did email Josh the other day asking if maybe there was a different way to hook up the logger with the Rogue DME, I haven't heard anything yet but If I do I will post it.

LUCKY DAVE

That would be nice. I never could get mine to work, once again on multiple laptops and operating systems - even when Josh talked me through it on the phone. His first guess was that the port in use wasn't turned on, but I went into the BIOS and made sure.

Why would they be?

Thought I'd chime in here again as is relevant. Darren and I have shared struggles and I have the same issue. Owned the data logger for 20 months now and have tried 4 laptops, 4 releases of TunerPro RT, 3 different ALDL cables, every version of Windows imaginable, sent Josh (and Dave L) pics of my data logger with direct wiring into the DME and have never had it connect so I can run logs. Sorta defeats the purpose of having it - and I also had two friends locally who are software developers take a stab at it just to make sure it wasn't me. COM port settings triple checked etc. Seems faulty as Hell.

AND while were on the subject here - I'm all for giving props where due but I've emailed Josh and Dave L both now to ask about future support for Rogue and if we can continue conversations about fine tuning things and help with diagnostics and going on 3 weeks I believe I have not heard a peep back.

Since the start of this thread was "Is Rogue Tuning Still Around?"....

No word from Josh. I'll attribute that to the fact it's Christmas and he's busy with family although I'm not holding my breath...

I checked my MAP wiring tonight and no issue there. I was hoping there would be a problem due to the fact that my M-tune only goes pig rich under boost conditions. When in vacuum it runs fairly well. It idles perfectly although I did remove my IACV as I couldn't get the car to come off throttle smoothly.

I'm now in the process of pulling the wiring harness. I want to inspect every single wire. If it's bad enough I'll buy(Lindsey) or build a new harness.

Hopefully I can also pinpoint why my logger doesn't work either. I have a spare logger now too that I know worked so I'm going to try that as well.

Kroon is making a new engine wire harness for the 951. Factory wire colors, factory connectors. Prototype has been made, testing for fit and functionality underway.

They are reporting progress in a couple facebook groups.

I have given up on the Mtune.. this harnes, new speed and ref sensors and VEMS when the xmas bonus hits (after she who must be obeyed takes her toll).

DarrenD

You've got M-tune troubles as well? What is the issue?

bumflick

Darren, i have a high idle when warm...like 2800 rpm. I alao have a high rev hang when lifting off the throttle.

i have put in all new vacuum lines, rebuilt the throttle body, replaced the idle control valve, and reset the idle multiple times. No bueno.

I have had this system for at least 8 years. I have no issues, the KLR is stock and no idle issues either. You need the chip programmed to drop the idle, it should not be that high.
