wacky looking ALDL graphs

I was having fun with my ALDL setup and I'm lost. Is there a site with a basic guide on what values are good and bad for certain conditions. For example, my O2 graph here looks pretty wierd. So does my MAP graph. I'm not sure about what I should be looking at and comparing. The temperatures graph was simple, everything heated up

I've never worked with the ALDL program, but if I'm reading that graph correctly, it looks to me like your O2 sensor is working fine. At the start of the graph there's little fluctuation, which, I assume is when you started the engine. This would be normal, considering the car would be in open loop mode. As it goes in to closed loop mode, you can see the graph fluctuating more and more, and watching the sensor spike and fall, pretty normal functioning sensor, considering that's how they operate, the voltage is constantly fluctuating.


Am I making sense

Ok, you are right. The engine was started at the beginning of the graph. I just thought it looked really wierd and wasn't exactly sure what I should look for.

How about some of the other stuff? Like how high should the Intake Temperature be after 16 minutes? I also don't really know what the MAP reading has to do with anything else LOL

I did figure out the block learn multiplier. 108 = leanest and soemwheres around 138 = richest?

128 = lean/rich halfway point

A couple of times it dropped to 108 for a few minutes, probably because i'm not exactly great with a manual transmission (like trying to go up a hill in 5th gear going 45 mph)
