Default Air Flow Decay and Delay Hptuners

Can someone explain the terms "Delay" and "Decay" in relation to airflow and other areas in vcm.

Based on the descriptions I have in EFI Live, this is my understanding of how it works:

An example of those can be seen with the throttle follower...

Say there's a command for 2 grams/sec of airflow to be added by the IAC because of the throttle follower settings. That will only be commanded for a short period of time. Once the 2 grams/sec is no longer commanded, the delay starts and holds the 2 grams/sec for the delay period at the given MPH. Once the delay period is over, the decay begins. Airflow is then decayed out at the rate in the decay table. If .01 grams/sec is in the decay table, it'll remove .01 grams/sec from the original 2 grams/sec every 12.5 miliseconds until it reaches 0 grams/sec.

Yes....you can be coming to a stop while airflow is still decaying out.

One thing to note for manual transmission cars. When you push in the clutch follower air immediately goes to zero, regardless of delay or decay. Same goes for cracker air
