Re: Shorten time to use FN1360 (Stabilized Fuel Table)

A possible compromise is also written into that description...Z_TABOFT. Set that to not be contingent upon WRMEGO thus allowing you to enter FN1360 earlier than CL. But again like the comment says, you'll likely want to increase ECTSTABL to >120deg. Going back to your original comment, you are wanti...

Re: Shorten time to use FN1360 (Stabilized Fuel Table)

The comments for FN1360 for GUFx are: FN1360 - Stabilized OL Fuel Table This table associates Open Loop fueling to RPM/Load as opposed to ECT/Load, which is what FN1307 associates Open Loop fueling on. When FN1360 is enabled in the tune, it is activated when WRMEGO=1 and FLG_ECTSTABLQ = 1. WRMEGO an...

Re: Hanging idle after throttle blip

Another thing I discovered and didn't mention since I got so focused just on ISC control aspects is that excessive spark can negatively affect idle as well. While th...

Re: Hanging idle after throttle blip

All my experience is with GUFx strats. However I suspect other strats are similar. Idle has multiple stages, there's Preposition which is where the ISC gets set when the TPS not at closed throttle. Once the TPS returns closed, the mode transitions to DASPOT which is a decaying of the ISC position fr...

Re: Quarterhorse and BE on A9L swapped 86 Fox

Any time you manipulate your selection of datalog items, re-write the tune even if you haven't made any other changes to the tune itself. It's not obvious, but part of what's being done to the tune in the background is to include some of the values you want to datalog as part of additional "relay" c...

Re: Cold Start swings lean after 30 secs

I don't know how A9L2 is setup, but I believe the original A9L would run the engine open loop for a good 1.5-2min before switching over to Closed Loop. During startup (cold or hot), the tune usually runs the engine a bit rich...even richer than normal open loop. But the tune gradually leans out the ...

Re: Hard start after bumping fuel pressure

Most strategies don't rely on MAP or MAF on crank. The tune has a function or table that is hard-coded to fire the injectors a FIXED amount of fuel based on ECT (and possibly voltage). Crank usually doesn't have to be that precise. It just needs to NOT be lean and not be OVERLY rich so much that you...

The first thing that's confusing is why you are getting reving limited to 3k.

If the EEC reverted, this would suggest it was running a non-stock tune at one point. The only way it could've done that is for someone to have chipped the EEC.
