Torque Pro Help
I'm having an issue getting any FICM readings from Torque Pro. I've checked and double checked the PIDs and I am getting nothing from them. Today was the first time I've hooked up the b/t OBDII and I am getting a connection as I was able to see CEL P1000, P0403 and P0405.
The Excursion also had an odd idle, it would idle normally for 10-15 seconds then drop and come right back to normal idle. ***Please note this only happened when the b/t OBDII was connected to TP***
The Excursion is a 2003 6.0 with Edge Juice Module (installed by previous owner)
Any help would be very much appreciated, I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple.

Quick update, FICM voltages displayed fine on the drive home. I'm still getting the odd idle drop though. Also the display on the Edge showed all zeros for oil, coolant and boost, though it did still display EGT.

Sounds like trouble communicating with the pcm. Although i don't use the torque app,
Shutdown app
Shut off truck
Unplug odb adapter.
Plug in adaptor

I checked it over, looks to be installed per the install instructions I found online. No running issues with the truck with the Edge installed, that much I can say. This just has me confused because as quick as I shut down Torque the idle drop stops.

I know nothing about the edge juice, so pardon my ignorance. is the edge supposed to be plugged in the OBD port at all times? I have the torque pro but No tunes, & I have no issues with it. Have you tried to remove the edge and see how it acts?

The Edge is installed inline to the middle PCM connector, it is not connected to the OBDII. I will remove the edge this weekend.

It's an old, popular, and expensive leason learned by many before you.

I believe that programmer is known to ruin your transmission. Lots of posts saying get custom tunes vs. The canned ones like that edge.

Thanks for the heads up Misky. Loving the truck so far. Who do most recommend for the tune or tuner?

Back to Torque: what odbII connector do you have? Have you tried adjusting the Comm settings on the Torque side? When I saw your posts on not getting/ then getting data, that can be setting the data acquisition rate too fast or allowing Torque to try to find the fastest rate it can on its own.
On the rough running whenever Torque is active: It'd be a reach for me to think that Torque would have a higher priority than the PCM itself on requests for data versus requests/commands from the PCM, but certainly not out of the realm of possibilities. I'd slow the Torque requests down and possibly try another odbII BT connector (they're cheap).
Have no clue how a tuner and Torque get along, not planning on running a tune, unless I stud it....
I am planning on getting a larger Droid device soon
