    Default running rich

    Hello,

    Im new to the whole turbo tuning, i have a dyno but not set up yet. i set up a cos with a 2 bar map sensor, that all seems to read ok.

    i use the stock ve table and went trough the whole tutorial to set everything up.

    it idles at a afr of around 7-8 and when driving its in the same range. if i lean it out a bit it wont idle.

    it hesitates when accelerating and i cant go wot.

    what am i missing?

    Matt

    Hmmm, AFR 8 is way rich...


    Are you getting an immediate MAF DTC...?

    Does it really only have 21lb injectors in it?

    If you have no MAF I would set C2906 to "1"

    Yes, if you want to see AFR, but for tuning use Lambda and/or EQR...



    avoid AFR at all costs...

    the correction multiplier is easy: CALC.WO2BEN = {GM.EQIVRATIO} * {EXT.WO2LAM1}

    you can get this from the calc_pids.txt file from the Calc.VET thread: calc_pids.txt

    Thanks guys. That's what I kinda figured now. But no sense doing anymore tuning. The 21lb injectors only support about 330 hp
