Default Aeroforce Scan Gauge

I am having a problem with the new gauge. When I turn the car off and on again I have to unplug the OBDII port and plug it back in to get it to come on. Do I have to hook up the Acc Power to it for it to work right? And I noticed my TOrque is really up there is it really that reliable. Cause I am reading like 500 FtLbs No Way.. I know that is wrong my HP seems to be on though. I do like it. I have to get my Pod now to install it right. I am also looking at my knock and it shows like 3 at wide open. Is that right?

Because of the bcm mine has a 5 second delay before starting up. Are you leaving it plugged in long enough from a cold start for it to start up on it's own? Does it shut off after a few seconds when you turn the car off?

I think the torgue reading being off is a know issue.

What year of car? I had to run an accessory power because my 2001 doesn't have a pin on the OBD2 for the gauge to power.

The hp/torque might be off, if you really want to be close then adjust the altitude you have it set on and such.

All stock gp's will read a few degrees of kr from factory. 3 isn't bad but its acceptable when your not modding and making more power than stock.

weird...My two annunciator lights flash a couple of times when I start my car but then a few seconds later the wlecome screen pops up.

Sounds like you may need the addtional hot wire.

Perhaps shooting Aeroforcetech an email may get you a better answer.

Well they say in the Manual that 96 to 03 most need to have the Extra Power wire for Pontiacs I do not know how true it is but I may write them. Does our car support Oil Pressure I do not think that it does I am going to order 2 other gauges today A manual Boost gauge and an Electric Oil Pressure I think.

No the PCM doesn't have an output for oil pressure that the scan gauge can pick up. My car has an oil pressure guage stock. While I know know the real numbers, I do look at the needle to make sure it's where is supposed to be.

If it's an 01 I'm pretty sure you need to hook up a hot wire like I did. I ran it into the cd player wire so the guage will stay on after the car is off.

You have to have the power hooked up to it. You can not rely on the OBD2 port to power the gauge, plain and simple. Once you have the wiring hooked up to an accessory, ie one that turns on when the car is turned on and then powers off when the car is turned off. If you are removing the OBD2 plug when the gauge is active, you run a major risk of messing up the unit.

Make sure you have the power setup and connected to the additional wiring plug provided. And then you have to also REMOVE the red cap from the back of the unit. I left mine on and I got all kinds of security warnings, until I removed it and it functioned normally.

Once you start your car, it will take approx 5-10 seconds for the Gauge to power up, and you will see the two LEDs light up and the prompt on the main screen and then you be taken into the gauge and you can configure it from there.

As for the Analog stuff, there is a bunch of programming you have to do for it and you need to purchase one of Aeroforce's sender units to complete the setup. I personally just a run a seperate OP gauge along with my Boost gauge, Tranny Temp Gauge and my A/F Gauge ontop of the Aeroforce.

I hope that helps.
