    Default Diagnosing using Efi live

    I bought the aldl cable and have a full version of efi live to go with it. Went along the motorway today with it recording data to try find the source of my high fuel usage.
    I attached a picture of a print screen below and it shows no reading from my right o2 sensor... does that mean its dead and i need to replace? Another thing was that the MAF was hitting the 300 mark under moderate throttle, is that normal?
    Any help is appreciated and i can add more screens if needed.

    the efilive definition doesnt show MAF correctly for vs there is a fixed one that shows it pretty close to correct i made somewhere should be over on delcohacking.net in the aldl logging section.if the o2 doesnt swing back and foward from 200mv to 600-700 mv its dead just not dead enough to spit error codes
    I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong

    From the photo the right one has no crosscounts, but kinda need a log or more info to say for sure. It should have ideally more than 2 cross counts while in blm mode.

    here's the xml im currently working on if you want to try it www.eyeit.org/holden/VS_CommoV6.zip i have added abs,bcm,trans and engine data to display, you can also clear codes with all of them, i havn't been able to add dtc's to the others yet but it will be happening. There's also quite a few fixes done to this over the stock efilive xml.

    Just unzip the xml file and place somewhere, the in efilive hit CTRL+ALT+O or hit the car open button on the dash and select the new vehicle xml file. Also while your driving hit spacebar and record the drive in log and post it up here if you can so we can download it and have a look.

    Alrighty, I attached the log file from which i took that screenshot. Its from a cold start, through some residential areas then onto the motorway.
    And thanks for the updated vs file, I'll add that now.

    it's the drivers side o2 sensor, it is working but it's very lazy i would replace it, the passenger side one is fine. Also the log shows that there's a fault code logged but it wont tell me what, maybe you only logged engine data and not engine data and dtcs, so check the error codes as well via laptop or manual method

    That fault code is from a dead coil pack from a few weeks ago, i'll clear it tomorrow, and yeh, i'll replace the o2 sensor this week, thanks mate. Anything else you notice thats not right?
