Re: The OpenEEC Project
Funny, last fall I picked up an Adafruit M4 Grand Central dev board, for the purpose of writing engine control code for S&Gs. It has a SAM D51 microcontroller on it, which strikes me as perfect for the job - ARM Cortex-M4 at up to 120 MHz, enough RAM, half a meg of flash, lots of timers, 12 bit A/D,...

Re: I've got the EEC Software Manual and Custom IC Hardware Architecture Reference
Now if only someone could find a schematic for the Fox MAF EEC. There's an EEC-IV schematic floating around the web but it's a bank fire, MAP EEC.
I'd LOVE to know what's in those hybrid modules.

GUFB goodies at github
After a considerable amount of assembly code reading and pondering, and some testing on my own '89 5.0, I'm letting the world see my private stash of GUFB tweaks at https://github.com/chucko58/EEC-IV_A9L . Thanks to the OpenEEC Project for the original disassembly listing on which all this stuff is ...

Re: What would cause fuel pump to prime with key off?
I've had that happen with the original FPR in my '89. I gave it a good rap with a wrench and it stopped. Hasn't happened again.

Re: GUFB/A3M1 decel fuel leanout - running log
That's good info Chris, thanks. I'm in no danger of blowing anything up because this is N/A at closed throttle. The fuel multiplier is effectively 1/lambda, so your experience suggests multipliers of about 0.85 are on the border of lean misfire. Since I have an idea what no fuel feels like, I think ...

GUFB/A3M1 decel fuel leanout - running log
Today for the first time I tried decel fuel leanout (non-zero values in FN374). I've been running with DFSO for years, but got tired of the clunking. I was never brave enough to try shift DFSO. So I started out with .9 as the leanout multiplier, then cutting it to .88. It seems to be working, lookin...

Is the O2 sensor upstream or downstream from the turbo? If it's downstream, it could be cooling off at idle.

Re: maf curve points
OBTW my rough calculations say if that thing will rev to 6000, you're looking at roughly 1540 kg/hr at 100% VE (load). So don't cut off the top of the curve!

Re: maf curve points
Take the top point on their curve and duplicate it at 16V. Then you can pretty much lop off anything below 20 kg/hr at the low end - your 427 will never get that low except during cranking, when the MAF is ignored anyway. If it's anything like my 37 point curve, some points will be much closer toget...

Re: Fuel pump prime time pid?
In my head the best I can make of the difference in this case is an opcode that references a register that holds a pointer pointing to the data that the opcode operates on vs an opcode where the data is an operand (no pointer). Is that at least in the neighborhood of being the difference? Yeah, tha...

Re: Why does my Decel/dashpot/declutch idle fall below DSDRPM
Paulie's right. The stall-on-declutch problem is pretty common in modified engines, and increasing DASMIN will fix it. Another way is to increase DASPTO, this is the approach I used initially. Two ways to achieve the same result. Take a look at FN875N to find the correlation between lbs/min and RPM....

Re: Fuel pump prime time pid?
The GUFx code, and probably lots of other strategies, are organized such that the code itself doesn't change between calibrations. Only the constants, functions, and tables differ. Those have PIDs associated with them. This is a "hack" because you have to modify the code itself. There are several ot...

Re: BZZRPM seems to have no effect (GUFB)
The PIP Legend defines BZZTM Unit as seconds in the GUFB. Factory default is 10 seconds for A9L. I do see in the GUFB98 Excel that the equation is X/8. BZZRPM and many other idle scaler equations are also X/8. So if the disassembly shows a value of 80 then the 10 second default in the a9l is correc...

Re: BZZRPM seems to have no effect (GUFB)
By going over the disassembled A9L listing, I figured out what the issue is. BZZRPM and BZZTM are in fact working. It's just that we have the wrong scale factor for BZZTM - it's in seconds, not 1/8 seconds. The factory value is 80 seconds, not 10 as we thought it was. So it's unlikely any of us wait...

Is the TFI module Motorcraft or off-brand? When my original TFI died (thermal intermittent), I got an off brand, and my car had a bad stumble under heavy load, right when it got into the heart of the torque curve. Replaced it with OEM Motorcraft, no more stumble.

Re: Attn: CGrey8 - proposed GUFB patch tweak
What you are seeing is the affects of background loop starvation. The less often the background loop gets to execute, the less often you get a new advance value. And the faster the engine spins, the more the higher priority code (aka ISRs) are getting run. At 5000RPMs, you might not get a complete ...
