BEN_LC12 and AutoVE tutorial Question

[mtnman]

I was going through the autoVE tutorial and came up with the values below for the BEN_LC12 table from the scan tool. Are these values close enough to 1.00 or should I continue to tweak them and get closer to 1.00?

419

I just started AutoVE tuning recently and I have the tutorial printed out and have been clinging to it. On page 11, #15 it says to aim for +/-.01 On a side note how did you attach that screen shot?

Yeah, I've gone over the document many times. I was just wondering what's considered "close" for these values. I've run the scan many times and pasted the values into the VE table, then after doing this about 5 times the values in the VE table weren't flowing right and the graph had bumps where it had previously been smooth.

To attach a screen shot, when you're posting a reply, click on the paperclip icon, then select "browse" button, select your file, then select the "upload" button. It takes a few seconds to upload and there are limits on the size of the file (pixels and KB). I had less problems with file size when I saved the screen shot to a *.JPEG (instead of *.bmp) file.

you need to keep working on it. .86 ben is a very rich condidtion

You can interpret those numbers as a "percentage error" by multiplying them by 100.
i.e. 0.85 is 15% too rich, 1.20 would be 20% too lean, 1.00 which is 100% is perfect. At a bare minimum, you should be aiming for no more than 0.95 to 1.00 which is still 0 to 5% rich. Ideally you want to get within 1% which is 0.99 to 1.00 - only one percent rich.
You don't really want to be over 1.00 since you'll be running lean - it is better to err on the side of being rich than lean.
