View Full Version : Startup AFR commanded vs actual

I've noticed on cold startups that my commanded AFR is around 10 but my actual is around 12. As the car warms up the actual converges on the commanded value. Should I be worried by this? Should I try to reduce tables such as Startup airflow correction or Startup friction airflow correction to richen it up a bit? Or will doing this just increase RAFIG to compensate and keep the idle speed constant?

I let my PLX300 warm up to read "Air" on the display before starting and I think my VE table is pretty close.

I have a PLX M-250 (no display) but I suspect part of may be that it is not completely up to temperature.

I also richened up the After Start Enrichment stuff. 10:1 is just a bit rich IMO.

Same here, I think its initial prime and afterstart enrichment etc, which cause the initial disparity.

If you are running in SD, this seems to be a common problem. There was an indepth thread on this on LS1Tech a few months ago. Not sure what the final consenus was.
