Now, you either find something wrong with it,
Thats the funny part......I already did fine something wrong with it, citing a reputable 3rd party source, and you STILL dont understand cause you're too wrapped up in spitting out your own garbage based on theory. I can't tell you how many times THEORY learned in school doesn't match REALITY once you're out there actually engineering stuff. It's okay, I now understand, you're too locked into your own way of thinking and assume you know everything down to quantum physics instead of sitting back, shut up, and listen to people who are actually doing this stuff in the real world and have been for years. It's ashame too, I didn't think you were that old that you were set in your ways.

Have you ever been to a psychiatrist or been in a mental hospital? You are arguing against a factual statement on why a wideband reads lean during a misfire. Going on about the design of the circuit and it's components or programming and then atomic theory or quantum physics.... wow. As for who cares why it's wrong, I would say everybody who is using one should know and care why it's wrong to prevent this bullshit. It's really very simple and you going on about it is actually pretty embarrassing.

How long does this guy get to go on and on trolling people before the people in charge get rid of him? There is NO contribution going on here from this guy and only mucks up threads with good info.

As a moderator, I don't even know what to do here... Do I just delete his posts, ban him from this section of tech, I don't know... all I know is just about every thread he posts in, ends up being a **** storm.

You could globally change all members settings to "ignore" him. That way he could still post, but no one would notice.

I just wish he would get the hint that after 3 or 4 people respond requesting him to just 'stop' he would get the hint.

either he is honestly struggling with some mental issues or he's artfully trolling. neither of which will be fixed by letting him continue to post here. i can only imagine he's banned from other forums for similar stuff.

he strikes me as a young kid who will probably know what's up later on once he actually gets real experience and off google.

Well, we can move on guys, he hasn't responded in a few days. FYI, I'll keep an eye on his posts for a little while and make sure he's not stirring up more trouble.

I don't mean this as a dig at you personally, but your posting pattern often makes me wonder if you are some sort of advanced AI that has read all sorts of tuning forums and collates the data into an indecipherable word salad intended to troll us.
Holy **** that is funny. Going to find a way to use that today.

Not trying to feed into any bullshit here but ive tuned alot of cars that need much richer idles then stoich

Its pretty easy to hear the tone change in the engine when the fueling is right. Sometimes when i try to target a "perfect" idle mixture, it will get poppy and unstable.

Same goes for ignition timing. Start low, and raise it until i stop hearing a change.

I did see with my lq4 that when i raised the ignition timing, i dropped a bunch of coolant temp at idle.
