RPM not showing 0 when engine off

I got an 2.0 and on the logging screen my car is showing 234rpms when the car was off. i was wondering if this is normal or is the car actually seeing this and maybe injecting fuel when the car was off. just a thought

It's a default figure and take note that the Timing with the engine at rest is also a default figure of 25 degrees. The Real Deal does not show up til the engine is running. Talking just those two items.

Same deal with the EGT on the Zeitronix. It seems to default to a 200 degree figure.

There is actually code in the PL software to zero the RPM, but a change in the ECU broke the code (the default went from 117 to 234). It will be fixed in the next release.

The ZT logger, the minimum EGT that the Zt-2 can read is 200, so thats what the Zt-2 sends the logger if the temp is below that...so thats what is displayed. EGTs on a running car will never be anywhere near that so it's not exactly giving false information at a critical range..
