Well guys I datalogged my car but I'm not quite sure how to read this. I wanted to check my MAF and IAC and make sure they were functioning because my cars idle is really crappy right now. I also datalogged the fuel trims and o2 sensors. You can DL the files here, but it they must be changed to .csv files. Thanks for any help or advice!

Here are some numbers...I'm not sure what some of them mean...

Spark: range from 14.5-19
Air charge temp: 142-144
IAT sensor: 254-257
Air intake temp:142-144
INFRD_CAT_TEMP: 878.25-879.375
ISC_DUTY_CYCLE: .363-.3828
MAF_AD_counts: 162-166
Load: .15-.157
OBDII_TEST_CMP: 16
RPM: 800
short term fuel trim: .98-1
O2_B1_FRONT_V: .066-.86
O2_B2_FRONT_V: .147-.83

What can I log to check the MAF and IAC? Sorry but I'm new to dataloging and I'm not too good with the xcal2 yet. Also, I noticed today right before it wanted to die, the lights got really dim on the instrument panel. Maybe my idle issue is related to the altenator? My battery died about 1-2 months ago,so I don't know if the alt. caused that or not. Thanks for any help guys!

From what you said about the alt/batt, add battery volts to the list so you can see if it's low or not.

Trims should be around 1 + or - a few %, data log both(2) shorts and both(2) longs.... Not sure what else you can datalog in the fuel sys with a pre-99, like pressure drop and what not, sure theres someone else here that knows more on this....
