    super simple question - VE table - When lean do the number decrease or increase?

    Just as the title states.

    If you are lean on the wideband. do you decrease the VE numbers in the table or increase them?
    Its been a few years since Ive tuned...
    and this car is giving me grief, i was ending up into the 200's still lean off the wideband scale.

    I guess another way to ask this is.. when decreasing VE, does this INCREASE fueling?

    Are you doing this at idle, cruise, or at WOT? Are you boosted? I am learning right now but 200's seem like alot. If you are lean, you increase the number in the VE table. If you are rich you will decrease. This is why you see at higher MAP signals and higher RPM the VE number is larger than around 15kpa and 1200rpm. Hope this helps.

    Idle: It wont idle
    Cruise : its on stands right now
    WOT: Cant get it to idle or run let alone this
    Boosted: yes


    Only way is holding the petal down partial free rev around 2000rpm, where the wide band is lean off the meter (unknown).
    Even with 200's in the cells.
    maybe this is a bad lambda sensor...
    maybe open header is skewing the sensor...

    Its in the other thread.
    The VE is what it was before the engine change/ cam change/head change/headers etc... fueling has only been changed from dead head to return (hence why IFR is flat now).
    I had the VE into the 200's still lean...
    I had bumped up Idle spark, its in OL, added 2g/sec to the RAF, widened the STITs, though it doesnt get a chance to idle.
    the VE is just out to lunch is my guess...

    When lean, you will increase the VE numbers. The PCM then "understands" that more air is flowing into the engine and it will increase the injector pulsewidth.

    maybe your MAP sensor or injector Data is wrong, no matter what you do to VE, if its wrong its wrong.

    Perhaps, however, extremely unlikely as the only thing that has NOT changed are the injectors. It ran like a top before. On the fuel side, its now a return system dialed to 58psi with reference unhooked, hence the flatlined IFR. (but the injector data is fine). I might change it back, undo the reference hose til i get this thing started.
    I am not following "MAP senso"r is wrong? what would be wrong? the sensor itself? This also was the same prior to tear down and build. No sensors have changed. (The engine prior was centri blown as well) this time its forged, and high flow heads/cam/FAST)

    Things that are the same:
    D1SC
    throttle
    Injectors
    ALL sensors
    OS

    Different:
    Bypass valve - Big Red
    smaller pulley D1SC
    230cc heads
    Brute Cam
    TPS engine 10.1 static
    1 7/8 headers
    Return system -8 boost referenced
    FAST92

    This is just a guess, but I've once seen a FAST 92 improperly installed, i.e. the original bolts on valley cover were not changed, thus the intake was not sealed well and there was quite lot of air leaks.

    Just an idea. Nothing more.

    All angles welcome.
    Valley cover bolts were changed to the proper hex flat for clearance.

    correct, open headers.
    o2s as in wideband (approx 4" from the outside word, im thinking this might be part of the issue...
    same happens with narrowbands.

    notice the more i let off, the less vac.. perhaps that is normal for high flow heads and this cam
