    Default Autotuning without wideband?

    Does anyone know of any autotuning tuturials out there that does not require a wideband?
    I am taking a road trip in a few weeks and fear I may not have time to recieve a wideband, get in installed and car tuned in time.
    Right now I am running an okay tune but do not want to drive 900 miles with the MS4 cam and the tune it is running.

    There are threads on this in the forum. Try a search and a few will come up. Let me try and summarise for you though....

    Without a WB, you can only make a rough guess at tuning the fueling at cruise or "light throttle" settings. Another way of putting it is that you can only tune the "Closed Loop" values. There is no way to really tune the Open Loop or WOT areas without a WB.

    Good news! I'll have a PLX Devices SM-AFR iMFD Sensor Module - Wideband O2 Air Fuel Ratio here by Friday from Amazon.
    I'm excited to learn and get this car tuned. I have been putting it off for way too long.
    I have three weeks to get this done....

    With the wideband, you'll be able to get it done well before then...

    What car/mods do you have...?

    Where in SoCal are you? I headed out to LA with a friend in Sept to get his C5 tuned. He is getting 2 PCMs tuned for Germany. One for the sniffer test and one for performance.
