LQ4 lean on start up.

[pormgb]

I have an LQ4 in a 65 Corvette, that is running super lean.

I'm in the very early stages of getting the motor tuned, but this has me stomped.

I'm using the tune from my LS6, with changes to IFR, B0104, VE and MAF tables to reflect a 6.0, in preparation for final tuning. I've tried adding to VE and MAF tables with no luck. I also did a misfire log, and there were no misfires. I have a wideband for AFR viewing, and I grabbed the injector data from another thread

Any idea?

Have you gotten the VE/MAF tuned for when its at operating temps?

Have you gotten the VE/MAF tuned for when it is at operating temps?

No, I have been unable to run the car long enough to get to the operating temperature and tune the VE/ MAF. The car idles between 21 and 22 AFR, sometimes higher,

Reduce all values in your IFR table by 5%. Do another log and see if the AFR is better or not.

I reduced IFR by 5% but still no change. I also did a test by increasing the VE and MAF tables by 30%, and the IFRs came down, but seems like a lot of increase.

That's telling me that the problem is with your wideband sensor.

If you have narrowbands installed, then use them as a sanity check for the wideband.

The WB crossed my mind, and I think I have spare time to test it. I forgot to mention that the motor won't increase speed when I see the 20s IFRs. The engine revs up once I add the 30% to the VE+MAF.

Where did you get the bosch injectors?

Where did you get the bosch injectors?

I got them on EBay, and they were listed as genuine Bosch.

I'm getting close to figuring out what's wrong. I discovered that B4205 was set to 122 degrees C, so the motor would not go into closed loop. I fixed B4205, and the motor goes into closed loop, and I see around 14.7 to 15 AFR at idle, and the motor revs up as expected. So the problem is related to open loop, because the motor runs between 18 and 22 AFR, until getting into closed loop. I have attached a log that shows the warmup process with B4205 fixed. I need to figure out how to set the correct open loop fueling, or do I need to enable fuel trims in open loop?
