Default Durametric fuel trim video

I’m getting ready to sell my car and wants to get fuel trim readings using Durametric. Trying to avoid any surprises for me and buyer. Anyone know a good video? I tried to find the LN one but couldn’t locate. Cam deviations looked good.
Thanks

I must not be explaining it correctly. I swear I watch a video that showed checking the health of the fuel system by hooking the Durametric up, and seeing results at idle and under load.
I was able to show no codes, cam deviation and rev’s so better than nothing. Car is running fantastic so time to let it go and change course.

Im not sure how durametric displays the info. On my scaner it shows short and long term trims as percentages. They should be around 1.00

Hopefully someone will chime in that has that tool.

Thanks for responding. For cam it was spelled out pretty clearly. For this I’m not sure what to click on, how to test or read. It might be in the Tony Callas fuel trim video. I’m being lazy and trying to avoid 20mins or more of video for something i’ll likely never use again.

Default fuel trim index

Hi there - you are right. There used to be one that explained how to read cam devs etc. I believe you had the engine running and checked the fuel trim and what you wanted to see that all 6 cylinders had a consistent fuel trim (ie no outliers and anything with over a value of 3 was bad news) in my notes i had written the following: Durametric - Rough running ..3+ is bad
However I am not a mechanic and only take this for face value.

I can’t figure out what to even click on. If it just said fuel trim, I’d be golden. 😀

Using Durametric, you are looking for FRA and RKAT values

The Durametric readings for camshaft deviation values and rev data would be more useful to me as a potential buyer than fuel trims.

Fuel trim begins at the 7 min mark...

I provided both. I just figured if I can, why not. With people buying sight unseen, the more the better. Trying to avoid any surprises. I’ve been on the other side. It blows.

You're my kind of seller, OP.
