    Default Autove tuning tips

    I am sure everyone has there own little tips and tricks they do apart from what the tutorial says while doing there Autove tuning, anyone want to share there own little secrets that make for a more consistant and acurate tune? I have been tuning the car for a while but still have spots that spike lean or rich mostly as I let off and back on the throttle....the crazy temps here are alo giving me a hard time....one day I got it next day I dont.

    I know weather and temp play hell on consistancy anyone ever put a resistor in the AIT sensor to eliminate heat soak and temp differences while tuning?

    what about special filters that you put in place aside from the one in the tutorial?

    I had the same trouble with the IAT's but could not figure a way to filter them properly as there is a blend with ECT's dependant on RPM. I eventually just filtered out the excessive IAT temp readings & did the rinse & repeat. Hopefully I will have my OTRCAI finished by the end of the week & my IAT's should stay a bit more sane around town.

    Consider using the A0014 table of Custom OS 3, works well in my experience for IAT temp compensation - as a multiplier to the VE table.

    A number of us have found the same as what you are probably seeing: low IAT = rich, high IAT = lean. With the VE multiplier table you can lower and raise the effective value of the VE table based on IAT.

    How is that monster running?

    Good subject. I know the tutorial covers the basics but I also know that more can be done to assure a n excellent VE tune buy disabling certain settings. It would be great if someone with more experience than me could revise that particular tutorial.

    What kind of revisions are you thinking of?

    The goal of the tutorial was to get the basic steps in front of the user so they can get thier feet wet tuning. It gets complicated when deciding how much detail can or should be added as it has to be proven to work in a generic sense for everybody. The more advanced we make it, the more intimidating it may become.

    But, I'm always open to suggestions/revision request.

    The tutorial as it stands is terrific. One suggestion I have is maybe an appendix with troubleshooting tips such as 'reduced power mode' ETC settings and DFCO disable for manual transmissions. There is alot of this scattered thru out the forum as they seem to be pretty common issues. This would simply consolidate it with the tutorial and it could be referenced by the tuner if needed.

    That's a good idea. This one comes up freqently. I'll look to get that in there soon.

    What about modifying {B3610} when doing VE tune. Should or should not be altered?

    {B3615} Leave alone or modify for VE tuning?
    {B3616} Leave alone or modify for VE tuning?
    {B3617} Leave alone or modify for VE tuning?

    It may just be a matter of degrees, but if it is possible to improve VE tuning by incorporating a few additional steps, it would be nice to see them addressed.
