follow:
1.open cal
2. go to parameters/nitrous1/fuel & ign compensation
3 ign settings read 7.
4. RELOAD same cal.
5. settings now read -7......WTF???

using editor 1.2.3.0 from Jan....
This little glitch ruined a good engine.
Setup was 120 shot direct port.
Instead of running 21deg(28-7) timing on the bottle, it ran 35deg(28+7). Car still runs (thank god), but compression in each cyl has been lost. (One cly is now 180psi).

Those of you using this feature, make sure you read these parameters EACH TIME before uploading. I know i will. -Neal

Was 'advance' or 'retard' selected?

I followed what he said, it did change everything from 7 to -7 and "Retard" was selected regardless.

I tryed it as well, if you have retard selected when you hit save it causes it to advance however many degrees you choose, if you have advance selected when you hit save it retards however many. It seems to me that hondata does just the oposite of what you want it to if you hit save while retard or advance is selected.

looks like a hondata issue.

Yes, there is more than one issue here. The crux is that you should not be able to enter a negative value. This will be changed and we'll do a release later today.

We have beaten the programmer responsible with a splintered ruler.

The release has almost finished testing.

Hi noob here. I just updated to 1.2.4 and you can still enter negative values on the compensation.
Now let me get this straight: if you enter negative values you are advancing timing and if you enter positive numbers you are retarding timing?
thanks

they changed it, you can input -7 now and it stays -7 which means it's removing 7 degrees from the ignition causing it to retard 7 degrees. If you enter a positive number it will advance the ignition.

Problem has been fixed

:D
