L-Trims average? Just checked my fuel trims with tech 2 after 2 weeks of driving with Long tube headers and off road Y. My Ltrims were 0% and -3%, but average Ltrims were -7% and -9%. Should i use average for deciding to lean translator base 5%? I am thinking this will bring avg. closer to 0?
TIA

Re: L-Trims average? I don't use the average when determining how much I am going to adjust the LTerms. I just look over at the scanner when I am driving and partially on the throttle to get an idea where they are.
I then romp on it a little bit (no more than 25% throttle) and see where the LTerms are.
I then adjust accordingly.
I don't like using the average feature because some injectors (particularly the SVO's) generate big negative LTerms when you come off the throttle. This throws off the entire average.
Lterms are only important right before you go WOT. You want to make sure that they are ~0 at these points.
Good Luck,
Kevin
