There's two methods Torque uses, and several calculations, to determine gas consumption/mileage.

Make certain you have the curb weight (3232 I believe) and engine displacement (3.7) input properly. Make certain to have the tank size (22.82) input properly. Turn on Advanced Connect.

All that should be done in the profile for the vehicle.

Make certain "Don't calculate MPG/Fuel" is unchecked. Make certain "Use vehicle fuel level sensor" is checked.(unchecked by default - this is a real-time input for Torque to calculate gas mileage).

That should be done in the OBD2 Adapter Settings window.


I'm reading my vehicle perfectly on 3 devices. Hopefully you get yours going properly. GL!:tup:

I wouldn't put too much stock into most of the values Torque gives.

For example:

My commanded AFR reads 17.5:1 at WOT while the actual AFR reads 12.5 :1

I'm pretty sure the ecu isn't actually commanding 17.5:1 at WOT.

My throttle position never goes above 88.63%

Who knows, maybe doing a throttle re-learn procedure will fix that issue, but I think its just a problem with the app

Anyone have any success reading the nissan PID's with the generic obd readers? The newer version of the torque software has some beta support for this now.

Hmm.. according to the manual the gas tank holds 19 gallons.
I'll try the rest and see if it helps.

I haven't tried them yet.

Still reading 11.5 on MPG, Trip MPG, and MPG (avg) at any speed. Nothing changed. The sensors must be different in the 2013 Z. Even figuring on paper gasoline used to miles driven is twice what Torque Pro shows.

Odd. I'm generally show 0.1 variation from what the display in the car shows. Are you certain you have the fuel sensor checked on in the adapter settings?

Don't calculate MPG/Fuel is unchecked. Suggested by Torque's author, Enhanced MPG calculation is checked. Use vehicle fuel level sensor is checked.

I think I turned off the enhanced MPG calc. I'll have to check when I get home.

I recently picked up an Android app called Torque that syncs via blue tooth to an OBD2 connector and gives you the ability to do a ton of cool stuff on your phone. Currently I'm using to to notify me when my engine reaches operating temp and read/clear error codes... However I know i'm just scratching the surface of what this app can do.

Is anyone else out there using this app and do you have any nifty tips/tricks that you can pass on to the rest of us?

You can download the app at:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...l.torque&hl=en

I'm using this for my OBD2 connector with blue tooth.. thus far the thing has worked perfectly:

BAFX Products (TM) - ELM 327 Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool - For check engine light and other diagnostics - Android compatible : Amazon.com : Automotive

i have used it to monitor AFR and measure WHP(i dont know how accurate it is but i got 266@6400rpm, it didnt pick up the rest of the rpm range though)

oh and you can use it as a proper gas guage that uses an analog gauge(well digital analog)

FYI, racerender can capture the video straight from Torque now, you can use that to overlay with your own video should you decide not to use your phone.

Fyi throttle only opens 90%. Uprev corrects the throttle postion...or so I have been told. I love the app....use it everynight on the way home. I dont have the afr function on my phone, is that only for the paid version?

I believe so.

here another great recording/OBD-app: DriveDeck https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...edeckdemo.home

You can use e.g. Racerender for the overlays. Within the app it looks like this:
