I recently picked up a new turbo and trying to get my tune dialed in. This is not my DD and I get around to it when I can. Lately I've been messing with my DA tables and I thought I got things down OK for idle and cruise. I have not done any WOT pulls/logs yet.

A couple of weeks ago was my last cruise log (below dated 7/28). Tonight I took the car for a spin and it started out fine. I stopped it and restarted another log half way home. When I got home I started looking at my idle log and realized my combinedFT and AFRationEST were way higher than normal. I did slightly adjust my BISS to try and line up my ICSPosition. My airflowperrev didn't change. Idle dropped a bit.

I turned my car off and reset most everything. Went back to my DA tables and reset those also. Even after all that I still get high readings for combinedFT and AFRationEST. It's dark now so I can't do much. I'm not sure what happened and why all of a sudden it just appeared. I turned the car off for about 30 mins went back and it still does it.

Any ideas?

Don't use combinedft, use stft and ltft. Stft is deadtime dependent and ltft is airflow/global dependent. Ignore afratioest for now. Go back and look at the ft's individually and report back.
 
Really. I would've never figured combinedft could be disregard according to the available vids on the ecmlink site. I'm reading up again on ltft n stft. I'll do some logging this weekend.

Thanks.
 
Combinedft is stft and ltft combined so you can have a stft at +15 and a ltft low at -15 giving the illusion your fuel trims are at 0 when theres a split of 30% between them.
