EMU Black exports data logs as semicolon-delimited CSV with a TIME column and a few
hundred channels. This skill teaches the model how to triage a log, the channel
reference by tier, the EMU state enumerations, and the common failure signatures —
idle stall, overrun-to-idle stall, cold-start stall, lean cruise, knock, boost
overshoot, VVT fault.
The single most important rule it enforces: lambda/AFR/short-term-trim numbers are
meaningless until Lambda is valid == 1 (the wideband heater warmup, usually the
first 30–60 s). A log that looks “perfectly stoich” in the first 30 s is just open-loop.
Attach: your .csv data log from EMU Black (or EMU Classic — same format).

I'm attaching an EMU Black CSV log. It is SEMICOLON-delimited (sep=';'), has a TIME
column in seconds, and ~hundreds of channels (RPM, MAP, TPS, CLT, Lambda is valid,
ECU State, etc.). Load it, strip column whitespace, drop all-empty columns.
Hard rule before any fueling claim: find the first time Lambda is valid == 1. Every
statement about Lambda 1/2, AFR, or Short term trim BEFORE that moment is invalid —
those are placeholders during wideband warmup, not measurements. Flag and discard them.
First-pass triage in this order: (1) Lambda is valid 0→1 transition time; (2) ECU
State (1 = stopped/cranking, 3 = running; drops to 1 at a stall); (3) Trigger error
count (any non-zero = crank/cam signal fault); (4) Engine protection code / Check
engine code (non-zero = active fault).
Then tell me what symptom I'm chasing and walk the matching signature. Useful enums:
Idle state 0=inactive/1=armed/2=active-PID/4=DBW blend. DBW Out. DC negative = closing
force, not throttle position. For an idle stall, check in order: Lambda valid → ASE
decay → Idle air % / DBW Out. DC pegged → battery sag (consequence not cause) →
ignition advancing (last-ditch recovery ⇒ fueling is the root cause).
State what I attached and the problem (e.g. "it stalls coming off boost"), and give
me a root-cause read with the timestamps and channels that support it.Full skill source: skills/emu-black-log/SKILL.md
