Procharged-Trying to tune with EFI Live
Procharged-Trying to tune with EFI Live I have some tuning related questions so I figured I would start a thread here.
Original Post : https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/728127-drove-my-procharged-car-first-time-tonight-problems.html
Last night I was reading threw the AutoVE Tuning Tutorial. I saved the original calibrations and set up the maps as directed. I came to the part where it says to reflash the PCM then disconnect the MAF and then drive around and log the BEN map. I don't have my wideband installed yet so I didn't figure there was any point in doing all that yet but I was curious as to how it would run with the MAF unplugged so I tried it.
With the MAF unplugged it actually held idle on a cold start, much smoother than before. Today I started it up again when I got off of work and again it held idle on startup so I figured I would pull up some pids and go for a little drive. I noticed right away the stumbling I was getting around 3k rpms was gone...or almost, it did do it a few times but more around 3500-4k and not as bad.
I progressively got on it harder and harder keeping an eye on the knock retard. Only once did any at all show up and it was at 75% throttle in first gear. It went to 0.1 KR. That was the hardest I dared to get on it.
Is it alright to gas on it as long as there is no Knock Retard?
Also with the MAF unplugged I didn't get the P0300 Random Missfire code that I have been getting. The missfire pids didn't show any missfires at all so I'm wondering if it needed the MAF plugged in to calculate missfires?

how are you compensating for boost? a 2/3 bar OS or ramping your PE table? What does your timing look like at WOT? What CR are you? Are you on a stock bottom end? How much boost?

Wideband is not hooked up yet. I'm about to send the car to the body shop for a while to get the roof repainted. Damn bubbles.... Anyway, I'll have them weld in the o2 bung for the wideband while it is there. I have the wires run but still don't have the sensor hooked up. I just couldn't resist driving it a couple times before I handed it over to them.
So any idea why I don't pick up missfires with EFI Live with the MAF unplugged?
I drove it again since my last post and the car seems to run much better with the MAF unplugged. Before any time it would hit boost it would studder/stumble now it seems to run decent. Pulls great any time I'm in the throttle. Still no WOT runs.

You need to wait for your wideband or take this to a pro before you hurt your stock engine. A boosted engine makes a pretty silly terstbed for tuning if you aren't sure what is going on. I would be leary of getting a mail order tune that is based on a MAF and then unhooking the MAF, ESPECIALLY with no wideband. Its all a shot in the dark until you can monitor.
