Re: Hanging idle after throttle blip
I failed to also mention those points that if fueling is off during idle, it doesn't matter what your idle parameters are in the tune. 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...

Re: E303 injector timing
Even if you don't have a license for EEC Analyser, install it and go to the Cam timing calculator and read the helpfiles about how to use it. There's a LOT of peripheral info about cam timing beyond just using the calculator that I think will answer a lot of your questions.

Re: BBK Fuel Pressure Regulator Issue
The adjustable FPR I bought years ago did the same thing. It would bleed pressure off within a few seconds after the fuel pump was off. This created a longer prime-time to get fuel pressure when cranking. I could not turn the key from OFF immediately to CRANK. If I did, then the starter had to be he...

Re: Does no clutch switch effect tune

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

But assuming changes do need to be ...

That would be a far more complex endeavor and probably a fool-hearty one given how old the EEC-IV/Vs are now with dwindling demand. But I would certainly applaud and welcome the effort.

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. These older EECs were not programmable without the help of external hardware. The hardware can range from a simple tune-holding chip to a f...

When you have the ability to make changes to the tune, there's no requirement that the MAF be "calibrated" to a specific size injector. What matters most is that the MAF and injectors are correctly sized to the capacity of the engine they will be used with. Regardless of whether the MAF and injector...
