Re: Loosing Stabilized OL table

I'm still operating off BE rev 5.185 (2019/10/23). It's not having this problem. As you can tell by the date, I don't update much...and it's things like this that discourages me from doing so. As old and mature as my setup is, I don't update unless there's a good reason to. Very few features are bei...

Re: Lean spike on shifts

I'll start by seeing if I can get DFSO to work properly. I'm using the A9L strategy from BE database which defaults to having DFSO toggled on, but several of the scalars appear to be set to keep it from activating. At least in the version I have... DFSO likely isn't going to help with (manual trans...

Re: Can bus questions

If the engine is otherwise stock, can you get your hands on another stock Crown Vic EEC to see if the problem is with the EEC you have (i.e. whatever got flashed to it) or with the rest of the setup? Based on the behaviors you are describing, either there's a more than 1 thing wrong with the wiring ...

I've written about this many times over the years, and this is a common problem. There are a few ways to help it if you never find what's actually causing it. But here are my thoughts: First, make sure that decels/closed throttle isn't going overly rich. If this happens, the Closed Loop operation wi...

Re: IAC DC lower after turning A/C off, same base idle rpm

Short answer is it sounds like something is mechanically "sticking." Either the IAC valve itself is not adjusting smoothly and either needs to be replaced or lubricated. Or there's some other air-adder that is intermittently allowing more air or blocking air when it shouldn't. The most likely culpri...

Re: WOT fuel needing extreme adjustment?

Check that you've lowered the Injector Offset vs Bat Voltage function. The stock GUFx tunes have rather high values in there that add way more initial fuel than is needed. However this tends to affect the lower RPM/Load range far more than the upper. I have not looked at the supplied tune to know wh...

As I was reading through this, I was thinking that the Neutral-to-Drive Idle air adders needed to be upped...but the OP said he did that and he can hear it flare when shifting, yet the engine stalls anyway which gives credence to the theory that its too much spark advance.

Start separate threads for each question you want to ask. When different people are answering different questions in the same thread, it becomes hard to follow and not very useful for others since the title can't be used to gauge the value of the thread content.

The byte-length does not dictate whether something is signed or not. The interpreter of the data decides that. In the case of offsets in branching opcodes, the 1-byte offset is always assumed signed so that it can branch forward by up to 127 bytes OR backwards by up to 128 bytes. Being able to decla...
