My old highschool car

I regret getting rid of this car but have it back again!!!

No don't hit calculate.
Did you already save the Global deadtime separately?
If you are still in it Live, I'd say just pick the box that says "save changes to ecu as they are made" since "save to ecu" isn't lit up.
No I ended up chicken out until you said something LOL I was really nervous as you can tell I refuse to make impulse decisions Lol I’ve learned to many times from that. So as of now it’s still 0 because once again I didn’t want to screw anything up
 
If you want to know whether you have saved the display of ISCPostion and CrankingFuelAdj, just make a short log with the engine not even running, and save that log, then open it up and look at it to make sure you can display it.
I did this exactly and they are there and showing now boss!
 
Oh ok, so with it Connected, go there to put 400 into the Global deadtime field again, and then, doesn't it give you a "Save to ECU" button? That would be the way to save it.
Okay I put 400 and hit the “Save to ECU” and I think it’s good and on their now

I have to take the kiddo to school tomorrow in the morning so I can make one. Should I go ahead and start the car and see if it helped any?
 
Could you elaborate a little more on the open loop running? I’m not understand that part LOL sorry just want clarification I guess my question would be how would I go about doing that LOL

Oh you mean how to know if you are in open loop while you are driving it?

Well, it goes into open loop when you are a little more on the gas. More throttle, and more revs.

In the logs you will see a parameter called Closed Loop. You can display that in your logs. If it is 1, then you are in closed loop. If it is 0, then you are in Open Loop.

To know "how far" you are into Open Loop, you can look at another parameter called LoadFactor.
Usually you go into Open Loop when the LoadFactor reaches about 0.8 which is where you got to in this last log.
LoadFactor will start to go above 1.0 when the turbo starts making boost (around there).
If you can do some drives now where LoadFactor goes up to 1.1 or 1.2 around in there, that would be pretty safe and we'd learn better if the Global fuel setting is going to be ok as is.

Gary I’m not sure what magic bullshit you do on your spare time but f*** an A man, I just let it idle to about half way on the temp gauge and it ran completely better! I should have logged it LOL but like I said I take the kiddo to school tomorrow in the morning and will get you one with more open loop!

Okay so just get on it a little bit is what your saying LOL

Ok good!

Yes!
 
Love it, you know the most embarrassing part. My wife new what you meant with the open loop and I’m over looking helpless🤣


She sounds like a keeper, no joke.


Or as I like to say to my Gen Z coworkers to make them physically cringe. "No cap, cuh."
 
Gary here is a morning log with some pulls, i did run into a issue though. At 863.223 seconds when I was getting on it a little right around 4,200rpm the car cut out as you can see so I let off the throttle. not sure if it cut out because it needs more fuel or what LOL let you see if you can figure that out. also, the idle when coming to a stop dips a little bit then picks back up. There is a few pulls through out the log

So if your still looking at it starting from time 920.794 and 2 clicks right on the arrow you can see it jump from 5500 down to 5200 an then back to 5500, I’m not sure how to explain it but essentially it starts cutting out and that was on some of those pulls not just this one. I felt like on that last one when it cut out I was giving it more throttle then the other pulls so I’m not sure like I said if I’m not getting enough fuel to why it’s cutting out.
 
ALS is activating. Disable it or change the parameters.

That aside, you are using the airflow sliders like fuel sliders. If you are missing that much fuel [10.2%], then you need to raise the base fuel pressure OR adjust global %, then put the airflow sliders to zero.

Your timing table is ridiculous. Load in a stock 2g table.

Gary input on this, I guess I’m just just confused on the timing part considering I thought we did this twice already. And the rest honestly to, I’m new and still trying to figure everything out when it comes to ECMLink.

Yeah antilag should just be turned off.
(ALS tab, uncheck where it says "enable antilag operation")
Maybe you can explain though why it is coming on during a pull, with the parameters as they are, which has "and speed" set to less than 5mph.
Shouldn't that keep it from coming on at any speed over 5mph? I'll never use it myself but it would be cool to understand it better.

The MAF has some hacks that should increase airflow a little. We don't know how much, but weeks or months ago when the car had stock injectors and stock fuel pump, the MAF Comp set up like that helped a lot.

Also around that same time the car still had the stock intercooler, and was knocking until we lowered the timing to what you see now, which finally got rid of the knock.

Now the intercooler is upgraded, so it will be nice if it can take more timing advance. It would be cool if you could upload a log that has a stock 2g timing map in it. I don't know where to get one that has for sure a stock 2g timing map.

Okay so as of now disable Antilag?

Yeah turn that puppy off LOL
I see it was in there ever since Nick started posting and I didn't think it would activate. So turn it off and see if it changes how it runs in a pull. Hope it's better!

BTW is the boost gauge still in the car? Nick had one in there at one time as I remember.
