Why does my SDOL car run richer in cooler weather?

[BHC5]

Just curious if it's a setting I'm missing or do I have a bad sensor or what? :confused: The issue is: A/F ratio goes rich when the outside temps are below 54 degrees F. But above that point at above 60 degrees F. the A/F ratio is good.

When I say richer, it goes from cruising in the 13's to cruising in the 12's and light loads=11's, too fat. As soon as the outside temps warm up the A/F ratio goes back to normal. Notice on cool mornings then changes as the day warms up.

(Note: Tuned for E10 fuel so 13.1 is the happy place for this ride at light cruise)

I'm a part-time DIY tuner, still learning so please be nice :mrgreen:

Do the IAT and MAP pids show correct values...?

Post a log file.

Mine did the same thing. I nailed the VE years ago and the test drive rewarded me with commanded AFRs matching commanded perfectly. Once winter set in it was pig rich, so I switched to CLSD. Now I run the MAF and it's nice and consistent. I had a standalone back in the day that did the same thing, and my friend using an Apexi Power FC in speed density has just experienced the same phenomenon.

If you were to upgrade to an LS1B PCM and COS5, there is a table A0014 that is an IAT VE multiplier that's aimed at fixing your exact problem. I'm looking at doing another calc.vet to base this off of and take some good notes when I do so I'm not trying to remember that day in 6 months when I want to tweak it for summer use.
