I’ll take a look at this and your datalog soon.
The parameters you talk about and others have no meaning really until you graph them so you have a visual representation, make changes and then datalog what the affect was. I am very familiar with your catch code. I may ask a lot of questions.

Re: Just installed a wideband and it's showing really lean at idle.
Your car is setup to run full time open loop? You are using an adjustable fuel pressure regulator? You can gain insight into this by running the engine at two different fuel pressures while monitoring intake manifold vacuum and RPM. This is what I would do: Disconnect the idle speed control solenoi...

Re: Just installed a wideband and it's showing really lean at idle.
The OP does not need tuning capability to answer the question.
Really, I am asking for details relevant to his questions. Just let him answer.
The state of how I am feeling has no relevance to any of this.

Re: FN052M/N/BP, Manifold Volume, etc.
Map vs Aircharge, FN052N is: slope of manifold absolute pressure vs air charge and is in units of inches Hg/(1 lbm/intake stroke). In your work, remember the following: Inferred MAP is defined by the linear equation y = mx + b where m is the slope of map vs air charge, x is air charge and b is the o...

Re: Timing after Max load RPM theory
Peak torque coincides more or less with maximum volumetric efficiency, maximum cylinder filling and maximum brake mean effective cylinder pressure. This is where the engine is most prone to detonation. So yes, this is where you want to scale back spark - how much - depending on the specific applicat...

Re: Isn't it catch 22, tune MAF first or injectors first?
That injector data will be correct enough to get your maf dialed in. No matter how good your data is, it will need some small tweaking. Once your maf is dialed in you may find you still have to adjust the low slope slightly because you might be rich or lean on decel. Since these Era of engines used...

Re: Transient Tuning
There are three main tables that determine the behavior during transient fueling. Surface equilibrium fuel as a function of ECT vs load, RPM multiplier and a load vs ECT time constant. Best to graph in excel the first two to get a clear picture of what's going on. However, before you begin you need ...

Re: Isn't it catch 22, tune MAF first or injectors first?
Be very careful doing a WOT pull until your fueling is at least somewhat close, especially if running boost. Good idea to keep timing very conservative till fuel is close. This was discussed just recently. If your fuel error is different at the same maf voltage but different rpm ( 2volts 2000rpm vs...

You need to use accurate injector data. Once you have this, all your fueling corrections will be made elsewhere.

Re: EEC-IV vs EEC-V
It is during a long pull or when under a sustained high power level when the engine needs additional fuel for cooling. Not during coasting decel. For example: a fourth gear pull at, say, 1/2 throttle at stoich will eventually cause heat damage to the exhaust side of the engine. The model will output...

Don't know if your calibration has this - I know it is in 96 and up: There is a misfire monitor that runs in the background loop. The background loop controls, among other things, trans shifting. At higher engine speeds, the misfire monitor consumes a large segment of the background loop and might c...

Re: Desired AFR at W.O.T.
You are probably going to want 12.8 - 13.0:1, but the spark you run will be more critical.
What is the stoich of the fuel you are using? You must factor this in to your desired AFR.

Re: What happens if you give an engine "too much" spark at i
Poor idle control. When adding more ancillary device load, ecu can add more advance with a double negative result. I think this is what was happening to me. If you are at MBT spark at idle, you will not have any reserve torque available to handle additional loads. You will also have diminished idle...
