ECMlink Cruise/Idle logs

[Foxmoto54]

Hey guys and gals, here are some logs I took with ECMlink v3 lite. It seems im running rich on shifts. I'm very new to tuning so any advice/insite would be greatly appreciated.
First log is of cruise and the second is a quick idle log with a bit of free reving.

Well i would imagine you were not sd sense v3 lite doesn't have the ability. So your running a maf. What kind? And is your bov recirc because if it isn't the unregistered air will make it run lean while shifting.

Your idle log looks fine (btw, its the first log, not the 2nd one), but why is your deadtime at 300?

Have you watched the video's on ECMLinks website yet?? Posted a Log on the forums there??? If not, do so.....

combFT, and afperRev looks good Idleing, decent for cruise but could be better; your fuel pressure should be at 43.5 , not 43... And are you on stock injectors??? if so you should not be adding 300 usecs of deadtime, so something is wrong there( should be 442cc / 43.5 fp = 0% gb, 0 DT ). Did you do a boost/Vac leak test before you started tuning??? if not your just gonna be running in circles trying to get a solid tune. Something could be wrong here, but its dialed in at a way that it all works.

Start by setting your fuel settings properly at 43.5 fuel pressure, 0 deadtime and 0 global fuel ( I'm assuming on stock injectors ). If not then go to ECMlinks website and find your setting for your injectors. Then get your AFperRev to sit around .25,( but dont get to caught up on that ) and keep combFT cycling around 0% idleing....once that checks out THEN go for a cruise, and then take that log and use the MAF Comp ADJ. tool to dial in air flow. Keep an eye on combFT while cruiseing , should still sit around 0%.

Also your coolant temp is 216* idleing... seams a little high... old radiator?

Livedsm4g63- Yes you can run speed density on V3-lite.

v3 lite is SD compatible...

I have the SD package to run with link but none of it is hooked up/installed yet so I am still running on the stock 2g maf. My BOV is recirculated.

I did a BLT up to 25psi and found no leaks, takes about 60sec to bleed down to zero. Yes, I am on the stock injectors. I watched the videos on ECMlinks site and was under the impression that you use injector deadtime to lower the CombFT, if not how do you go about doing this? with my deadtime set at zero my combFT cycles around 10%. As far as I know the radiator is the same year as the car
Thanks for the advice guys

The only time you would mess with deatime is if you had bigger aftermarket injectors.....you could with stock injectors but you shouldn't have to so I would suspect a problem elsewhere ....do you have a bigger fuel pump? Aftermarket afpr?
So that deadtime adjustment is the reason your running rich on cruising and shifting. More deadtime equals more fuel.

 

[Foxmoto54]

I do have rewired denso 190lph and a fuelab afpr, also a fuelab filter all with -6an lines. Should I zero the dead time and start over?

 

[DSMer541]

since you have a AFPR then I would suspect fuel pressure to be off just a tad.... what I would do is while idleing, make sure you car is up to operating temp, and double check your pressure ( with the vac line off and plugged ) , then turn the pressure down a small bit, like 1-2 psi, to see if that brings your combFT to cycle around 0%,... and yes zero everything out and reset your fuel trims and start over.
Some times those fuel gauges are off just a little,.. I have had iffy reading on mine too..I have one mounted to my AFPR and a sensor mounted before the rail for a in-cabin gauge and the one on my AFPR differs by about 3 psi sometimes, but sometime even....

 

[Foxmoto54]

Ok, I zeroed everything out and reset my fuel trims. Using ECMlink I set my base fuel pressure to 43.5 and injectors to 445cc to get 0% gb (442cc gave me 0.8%) I then used MAF comp to get my air flow per rev down to .24-.25gm. I checked my AFPR gauge with the line disconnected and plugged. It was set to ~43psi so I moved it down a few and still ended up with my CombFT cycling around +15% I'm confused as to what to do next

 

[DSMer541]

thats wierd... post a log on ECMlink forum of it idleing with the zero'd settings and high fuel trim, maybe someone with more experience than me can give some input... I dont think its a tuning issue though... seems more related to actual engine operation.... you said you did a leak test and it held to 25 psi, but it took 60 sec to blead off to 0... ??? It should hold alot longer than 60 sec before bleading off..... once you apply the air pressure, it should hold that pressure with the air compressor off, not bleed out... if it is bleeding out fast then you have a leak.

I'll get a log up on ECMlinks forums tomorrow, thanks for the help.
