PID {CALC.CYCLAIR} is defined in sae_generic.txt as:Quote:

From that you can see that CALC.CYLAIR is calculated as MAF*15/RPM.Code:*CLC-00-900
cylair 0.0 1.5 .2 "{SAE.MAF.gps}*15/{SAE.RPM}"
Where MAF is in g/s

Sorry i wasnt a little clearer. I was referring to GM.DYNAIR.
{GM.DYNCYLAIR} is looked up by the PCM in the VE table plus a couple of mathematical adjustments for pressure and temperature.
VE is grams of air per cylinder multiplied by the charge temperature divided by the charge pressure (g*Kelvin/kPa). The closest values we have to charge temperature and pressure is IAT and MAP respectively.
So if we multiply by MAP in kPa and divide by IAT in Kelvin we get a good estimate of grams per cylinder.
DYNCYLAIR = (VE*MAP)/IAT
Where VE is in g*Kelvin/kPa
MAP is in kPa
IAT is in Kelvin
OR
(VE*MAP)/(IAT+273.15)
Where VE is in grams*Kelvin/kPa
MAP is in kPa
IAT is in DegC
Note: the next release of EFILive (7.2.3 pre-release 2) has a VE PID that returns the VE lookup value in grams*Kelvin/kPa. And a calculated PID that calculates VE as a % but that requires you to enter the engine size into the scan tool.

So this means changing our VE tables will change the timing values by possibly moving the timing into a different cell column dependent on the VE tables affect on GM.DYNCYLAIR
Perhaps one of you M.E. types can come up with a spread sheet that matches the V.E. table with GM.DYNCYLAIR for each value at RPM
Yes and no.
Yes changes to the VE table may change the calculated GM.DYNCYLAIRPID's value.
It won't have the "jump to the next cell" type effect that you suggest because of the interpolation performed by the PCM.
The PCM calculates a weighted average of the looked up value with its surrounding cells, based on how far the lookup indexes (indices?) are from the row/column labels.
See this thread for an explanation of interpolation:

It shows the VE table in the example, but the same logic can be applied to looking up values in any table - including spark tables.
