so what should I watch for on the AP? Like how do you recommend having it laid out when it comes to gauges and things?
You will get different answers from different people. Once I know things are looking good, I put my AP away and never look at it again.
When I first start logging, and want to check my car under different conditions I typically look at the following monitors live:
AFR
Short Term Fuel Trims
Long Term Fuel Trims
Knock Adapation on cylinders 1,2,3,4
Knock Average Correction (If I don't have all cylinder knock adaptation listed, just to see if anything is happening)
