Hi Tom welcome5
Have looked at your log file which is pretty inconclusive as you have no data at the correct engine speed and throttle opening.
To do this ideally you need a stretch of uphill gradient where you can accelerate from 30mph in third gear and most importantly flat out as you pass through 3000 to 3500 RPM
Try again and post the file :)
will do just got to find a bigger enough hill ;)when you mean flat out do you in 5th or stay in 3rd
Cheers

3rd is best but of course road/traffic conditions can make it tricky, but as said before for blocks 010 & 011 you need 100% throttle that's flat out with 2850 to 3250 RPM.
So accelerate flat out from 30MPH in third gear just watch the RPM when it reaches 3500RPM back off throttle and repeat the process so you get a good few logs.
It's best if someone operates the laptop for you that way you can pause the log when not doing the acceleration test and keeps the log smaller.
