lc1 BEN factor for auto ve leaning out afr

[joecar]

would posting my tune help at all? maybe then you can see how I have my VE table set up and if it looks correct for what I am trying to do.

Yes, I'll take a look.

here is the tune where I changed my afr to 14.7 but never got to run it due to technical difficulties. I should have made every change according to the auto ve tutorial. I think when I ran this tune with my 9.765 stoich it ran decent. according to the tutorial I had to add 15% fuel to the table but the car wouldn't even start it was so rich, I ended up backing off the fueling around 30% ( on the backup ve) to get my idle afr okay and went from there. I'm not sure if i mentioned this but this is for a 98 camaro so I have to tune everything with the backup table and I copied my high octane table and pasted it into my low octane table.

What engine mods do you have over stock...?
The AutoVE tutorial says 15% in that it assumes you have larger displacement, huge flowing heads, and huge cam... and 15% is too high even at that.

Yes, with MAF failed, PCM runs from the Backup VE table and LO Spark table.
