[Diy_efi] Torque Converter Speed Settings

[Dan Griffin]

A little while back, someone was

That was probably me,

If you were using Tunercat, it appears to me that the High Gears and
>Low Gears speed settings in the ECM Constants table are swapped.

I wondered about that...

I tried
>adjusting the Low Gears settings to only get lock-up in OD and ended up

>lock-up only in the low gears. So I swapped settings and got lock-up in OD.

I tried fiddling with this a lot, It would save me a lot of chip burns,
Could you actually send me the numbers?  hs88s15 at hotmail.com

I only want it locked while at speeds over 50, Even when I step on it...In a 
stock 4cyl this shouldnt cause a problem eating the clutch lining... In the 
stock bin,(unhacked) it was like that...

thanks, dan
