My ALCH_PCT is reading 9.8 and not changing.. is that bad? this is 93 octane.. I feel like it should be WAY higher.

Why? Gasoline at the pump contains up to 10% ethanol, that's why you would get a reading close to 10 when using regular 93 octane gasoline.

Ok... It's a misunderstanding on my part then.. Is it straight E85 that reads 70+?

E85 would have a ALCH_PCT reading of 85 (if it were true E85 - 85% ethanol/15% gas). A reading of 70 would mean you have E70, etc.
Makes perfect sense now.. Thank you for clearing that up... Looks like all my numbers are spot on..

I just got my ngauge yesterday and can't seem to find the ALCH_PCT monitor. I went through and had it scan the entire "FORD" listing and that got me more monitors but I still can't find this one. Any help would be appreciated.

Next question....can I monitor EGT with the standard settings or do I have to have a specific tune in order to see that option? If I can monitor EGT how do I get to it because I have search that thing multiple times and can't find it.
