    Default lambda instead of afr

    So I want my logs to display lambda instead of the afr I am currently displaying. From what I have been reading I need to do the following:

    Open the calc_pids.txt file

    Edit the working CLC-00-002 0.0 2.0 .2 "{CALC.AFR_WBC1.AFR}/{GM.AFR}

    To the new CLC-00-002 0.0 2.0 .2 "{CALC.AFR_WBC1.AFR}/{GM.AFR}/14.7

    Is this correct?

    No... if both numerator and denominator are AFR based, then the stoich AFR cancels out (if they assume the same stoich AFR).

    If the wideband assumes a different AFR (say 15.2) than the PCM (say 14.6) then the correction factor becomes:
    "({CALC.AFR_WBC1.AFR}/15.2) / ({GM.AFR}/14.6)"

    which simplifies to:
    "{CALC.AFR_WBC1.AFR}/{GM.AFR}/15.2*14.6)"

    There are two problems with GM.AFR:
    - GM.AFR is based on table B3601 in the calibration file,
    - I have seen GM.AFR not get updated (compare with GM.EQIVRATIO in a log);

    so I like to use GM.EQIVRATIO instead of GM.AFR...

    noting that GM.EQIVRATIO equals 14.7/GM.AFR (i.e. 1/lambda), then your correction factor becomes this:
    "{GM.EQIVRATIO}*{CALC.AFR_WBC1.AFR/14.7"

    assuming your Wideband Commander assumes stoich to be 14.7 (check your WBC user manual to see what default stoich AFR is).

    I replaced this:
    *CLC-00-006 0.5 1.5 .4 "{GM.EQIVRATIO}*{CALC.AFR_WBC1.AFR}/14.7"
    factor
    with this:
    *CLC-00-006
    factor 0.5 1.5 .4 "{GM.EQIVRATIO}*{CALC.AFR_WBC1.AFR}/14.7"
