Default How to datalog when the A/C clutch cycles

I'm trying to troubleshoot an A/C problem and would like to be able to datalog when the A/C clutch engages and disengages, any help would be greatly appreciated. My A/C blows cold at idle but doesn't work well while driving.

First thing to check is that there is no warm air coming in through the vent.

Look at the documentation for the MS that you have (if you have a MS). It will be titled something like this: Megasquirt3_TunerStudio Lite Reference Guide. Available from MSEXTRA.com.

Find the Status Info, like this:



In this case, AC is called for when Status 7 = 32 (or some combination of, say 33 = 32 + 1 if you have more than one thing at a time). Thus, you would log Status 7 and look for when it jumps to 32 or higher.
