Hey, I've been having trouble getting my Lo settings on my SAFC down. I know how the AFC works and what everything does so you don't have to preach to me on that. What I am confused about is when I tune my lo settings in the driveway revving up, they'l be down pat, but the correction #'s will be relativley low (i.e. -8, -12, etc.)

BTW, I'm running FIC 650's.

Now once I get my FT's down revving in the drivway I'll go and cruise and instantly my FT's will be pig rich (STFT -15).

So I go on the highway to tune and if I hold steady the gas at say 3k RPM's the FT's will be near 0. But the moment I step my foot on the gas a tad more (about 15% TPS) the FT's will be back to pig rich.

So I posted a log of me idling and cruising at different throttle positions.

You'll notice idle is fine.
-Around 10% TPS and LOWER my FT's will be very LEAN (STFT +15, etc.)
- Around 15% TPS my FT's will get better (STFT +5 or so)
-Around 18% TPS and above my FT's are near perfect.

So what do I tune for, because if I tune for 18% + TPS, if I'm on the highway holding my speed at a steady RPM my FT's will be very lean, which will make my LTFT start to lean out.

EDIT: Removed log, since it was pointless. New log is posted below.
 
I realized that log was pointless without RPM, so I made another log, but with RPM as well.

Move your 2k Ne point to -20%, the 2.4k to -20%, and the 3k to -20%. Go for a cruise to let things settle down, then do another log.

You're pulling out too much fuel and the ECU is attempting to compensate by moving your trims in the positive direction. We need to do the same thing with the SAFC that the ECU is doing with the trims. So if you see positive trims, you need to move the SAFC correction factors in the positive direction and vice versa.
 
Nathan, here's the new log. I moved the 2k to -18, 2.4k to -19 and 3k to -20. You'll see that this made the STFT better (not perfect though, I still need to pull a bit more fuel) when my TPS is around 9% and lower. Once I hit around 11% TPS I start to get rich. and what's really strange is 20% TPS, I run VERY rich.

**Notice the bold numbers. Those are examples of each type of TPS % and corresponding STFT I'm experiencing.

As you can see the general concensus is with little throttle I run very lean, and as I add a little throttle I run very rich.

By the way, how do I post up a log correctly? I don't like this all close together, it's hard to read.

Thanks.
 
That's better, but still needs a little more work. Don't be concerned with the TPS values, just the rpm / FT correlation. Since your Lo TPS trigger point is set at 30%, anything below that value will be pulled from the Lo throttle correction table.

Move to -20% on the 2k map, -23% on the 2.4k map and -22% on the 3k map. Go for a nice long cruise and then make another log.
