And once you get upto almost 180F then take that data and paste it into the RAF table and try it again. Cause it seems like you are way off on that. Remember to turn your AC off and FANs off when you do the logging. And remember it will take 5mins for the LTIT to start learning so it wont take effect immediately, you will have to let it idle after startup for at least 10mins to get it to come back to 0.

I dont understand way its so high? Thats my second log file starting from a cold start? I should have the desired airflow in there?

No no, you didnt understand me. Im saying you can use this one or do another one from a dead cold start and then insert the values.

Since your scan has it, use these numbers. This is from 68 to 212F on the RAF table.
Code:
8.20368	5.94644	5.22991	4.96983	4.48185
This is what I gathered from your scan. Put that in your tune and reflash and then start the car up again from a dead stop and see how that goes. Also keep it running for more than 5mins at idle so we can get your LTIT closer to zero.

Ahhh well that explains why you cant do the histograms. Well definetely use those values for now for the respective values then do another cold start and see how far your STIT/LTIT is off. Then tweak it by hand and you will be dead on.

I have it...I didn't know I needed to pull the file thats in my car with 2.0.

I have playing with it a bit. Looks a bit more involved. I have a smog this sunday(maybe), and I might be worried if I use 2.0 not fully understanding it. It sounds like its alot easier to use.

I flashed it last night, and started it up this morning. The lde was good, did not shoot way up! Thanks! but, it would not idle for crap. I will do the idle relearn later today. I'm gonna get the settings you told me from a cold start tomorow morning. Would you mind if I sent you that file?

Thanks again!
Jason

I dont mind, just include the scan and tune file so I can see really whats going on. You really dont have to do idle relearns on drive by wire throttle bodies.

Cool! Thanks. I am assuming the idle will relearn itself?

I just emailed you the log, and my current tune.

Thanks for the help!

Code:
17.00000	15.00000	13.00000	8.06055	5.42773	5.12598	4.88672	4.50391	4.50000	4.50000
Use these valus for the entire RAF table from -40F to 284F. Your RAF is basically dead on with those values. If you also look you can see your LTIT is now at -0.30 which is perfect. Unlike being maxed out at -3.00g/sec.

I also see you dont have a huge surge on startup, seems perfect now. Looking good Mr. Caaaaarterrrrr.

I was going to send you a tune all done for you except I use 2.0 and I cant save it as a BIN format, it wouldve been saved as an HPT format which you cant read.

You are the man Dixit! Thank you very much for your help!

I have another question for you, if you would be so kind to answer? Should I retune my VE table(LTFT) Ie:reflash and do the 100 miles log again...looking at this? Or should I just tune for STFT?

LTFT:

STFT:



Thanks Again!

Since your basically under 10, just disable LTFT from your tune, reflash the car with that tune of the LTFT disabled, then reset the fuel trims, then drive around for like 20 miles and try to hit all the cells like you did before in that screen shot (below 4000rpm) and try to hit them a few times to get a consistent number. Then just use the STFT histogram and make those changes to the VE table as required. Then check again after clearing the fuel trims and if you can get it between 0 and -4, then you are spot on, most aim for just +4 to -4.

Cool! I was hoping not to reflash and do the relearn again...what a pain. Thanks for all your help!

Now, just so I get it right. When I get my final numbers from the STFT histogram...I paste-special ADD it to the VE table...right, and do nothing with the LTFT?
