My Pl and auto meter gage reading about 4 lbs off Wich one should I pay attention to
more accurate Pl or boost gage
- Thread starter turbot-ttop
- Start date
the 3 bar MAP sensors are made in Mexico (or perhaps China now), by the lowest bidder.
The autometer gauges are made in China (I think) by the lowest bidder.
I wouldn't trust either of them until you find out for sure.
but, make sure your barometer setting in the PL is correct as it will change the boost reading.
what is your altitude?
are they off all over or just at higher boost?
where is the boost gauge connected, and which one reads higher Autometer or PL.
Post a log.

ill double check the pl settings again not sure the altitude in las vegas and the auto meter is tyed into line that goes to map. I did it when I set it up the auto meter is high one. its off quiet abit the sm and pl are both showing different # last pass was pl 14.3 sm 16.2 and auto meter was over 20. I just went back and even when I turned up the psi on the regulator the pl stayed at 14.3? the sm # changes as well as the auto meter .
Get a quality map sensor. The AEM are really nice and are accurate

Would you use the AEM 30-2130-50 to replace the 3 bar GM MAP sensor included in the Alkycontrol kit?
can you post a logfile?
PL and scanmaster (when fed from the PL) use the same data, so they should be the same.
also let me know what software versions you have (PL and PLC)
and, furthermore, a 2bar sensor tops out around 15 psi. you need a 3 bar sensor.

my map was off a bit because i was using the 5v from the dash(original map power supply)turned out i had 4.7v.it gave me a false reading.changed to the tps voltage which was 5.01 and was right on.

bob I was going to ask under map on the pl its 2,3,or 5 bar so will I have to run 3 bar for pl and the 4 bar for the gage? or is there a was to just run the 4 bar
I need to update the PL for that sensor, then there will be a 4 bar selection.
for now it doesn't really matter, I just need the data. I would set it to 3.5bar
what I need are a couple data points: volts on the F3 page of PLC, and the boost/bar/vacuum reading on the Innovate.
