Re: Moates Out of Business

Chris, I think you can achieve your web GUI and real-time control using a TI MSP432 chip. I know because I've used it in the context of aerospace. That chip is probably one of the beefiest Cortex-M chips around, with 256K SRAM and 1MB of flash, plus a dedicated EEPROM of at least 32K or something. I...

High speed fan w/AC on EEC-V

I've got a very nice running 302 in my '00 Mountaineer tuned using CoreTuning's REAC4 definition. Recently, I discovered an offshore company called AlloyWorks which produces fully TIG welded aluminum radiators for my application as well as a fully fabricated shroud that incorporates a 16" S-blade fa...

Re: Can't get a smooth idle

I'll second what Decipha posted, he also has a very detailed write up on how to dial in the idle for both EEC-IV and EEC-V. He put a lot of time into writing that and while it is not the easiest reading, once you wrap your head around it you're good. Thanks, Mike. http://efidynotuning.com/idleair.ht...

Re: Moates QH and J3 Chips Are Still Available

Yeah, those Xilinx chips have been a real PITA the last few years. In aerospace we're using them for flight computers (autopilots) and they had like a 52 week ARO. Total PITA, but my understanding is that lead time has gone away. Regardless, I'm with you guys on the IP part of Moates shutting down, ...

Re: Dialing in the Failed MAF table

Likely the latter. There's a few folks that have access to the Ford internal documentation for the later strategies, but it's well guarded for obvious legal reasons. I can confirm that making an adjustment to these tables amounted to exactly diddly squat in my READ0 based calibration, though.

Dialing in the Failed MAF table

I'm datalogging a READ0 EEC-V and seeing some fairly highly load values when merely cruising and idling. I think I've narrowed it down to the Failed MAF Table that is used to infer load based off RPM vs. TPS, but wasn't sure exactly how to dial this in. I've got a WOT VE table for the engine based o...

Re: which tool to flash EEC-V?

I was able to read the tune off of a QH using a Jaybird successfully as well... just pointing that out because the resulting bin file would be what would be needed to flash the PCM directly using one of the direct flash tools. Right?

Tomorrow, I think I will swap t...

Tune is executing and with some careful footwork, you can actually get the motor running, but it's pig rich.

If not, then start looking for other causes such as misconfigured functions (extreme min and max values not represented in 1st column)....

Re: O2 sensor question

A vacuum or exhaust leak is going to make the sensor not read an accurate an signal and therefore provide an inaccurate signal to the computer. So you might want to focus on that first. You cannot run without the sensor - not unless you turn the sensor off in the tune, which is it sounds like you do...

Re: O2 sensor question

I guess just throw some parts at it, but definitely fix any exhaust leaks. Replace all sensors and see what happens. I'm assuming you've got a check engine light currently. EECs are pretty hardy and not usually the culprit unless short circuited or something.

Ok, so AGANF strategy. Do you have a tuning device?

Re: CDAN4 vs CFAK6 which to use? For swap.

IMHO, CDAN4 is more widely supported. I have personally run that successfully before, but you might want to think about what driving an E4OD or whatever transmission you intend to use will look like with the strategy in question. I had chosen the CDAN4 specifically to control a 4R70W.

The microprocessor in the EEC is sampling the ADC voltage from those sensors, so if they're not present and the ADC circuit is left open, it's totally common to see the voltage float randomly and between extremes. A better way to run without those sensors would be to obtain the pinout from the senso...
