    the car will never run right in open loop,, IT suppose to go into closed loop

    i didn't change any of that stuff and even with the cam mine stays from 14.0-15.5 at all times

    i think you just start over.... way to much stuff has been messed wit hfor the wrong reasons

    when it goes into Closed Loop it takes a second, but it starts commanding 14.7 and stays. However, my REAL AFR is like 15s, or 16s aggghhh!

    No, I'm not saying I turn on AEM, wait 20 seconds, then start car.
    I AM saying that I turn on car, wait 20 seconds, then turn on AEM (once the exhaust gas is hot so it doesnt damage the sensor).
    Thanks alot for your 2 cents!! Any feedback is better than NO feedback!!
    I dont want closed loop cause with my headers they dont read acurately..
    I actually prefer open loop as I have seen more consistent fueling from day to day...closed loop always looks for your stoich value..and its not determined by a real AFR..its determined by a voltage that an o2 reports that is dependent on the o2 temperature..if the o2 is not seeing enough/or too much heat then it reads differently
    and you get afr comanding 14.63 and o2's reading 15.2


    you an actually use the 12v dc source from the o2 sensor connectors(usually teh rears cause nobody cares about rear o2's) and it turns on when you turn the key...also exhaust blows off any condensation before teh sensor is hot and teh sensor warms up properly at the same time

    most vehicles run better in open loop if you tune it properly...
    and 14.0~15.5!!!! I see 14.5~14.8 consistently from day to day in open loop..
    one of the issues you v6 guys have is that you have a MAF that is 100% in control..which can be good...and bad...part throttle transients really arent accurate at all..and idle goes way south with MAF as idle reversion air is an issue with cams.

    I dont have a stock v6 file to look at but it all looks pretty normal to me so far in that tune..
    that PE base enrichment table could use a lot richer as most power is 12.5~13.0 ish
    and if you do FI then your adder tables vs time can be extremeely useful especially when you run out of KPA at 140 and RPM at 6400...

    also I dont undrstand why you are logging 36 pids and 6 status bits..try logging less stuff and get a faster frame rate
    I also dont see a wideband happening in that log...so how do you know your AFR....
    commanded AFR is one thing..LTFT's and STFT always try to get your AFR to what is commanded...
    +LTFT's dont mean lean..they just mean that the tables dont command enough fuel and the PCM has corrected for it..

    our v6's runs aout of map at 105... just FYI

    14.0 is not bad when its comanding 14.7.... same with 15.5, i KNOW 100% i have exuast leaks before the WBO2 so those numbers are not bad at all

    Why would you not want close loop

    why are you only commanding a 13.5 AFR with no RPM adder? i understand it makes it a bit less hard to tune but at 5700 RPM you going to need to add fuel (more air )

    yes you need the EIO to log the WBO2

    the AEM WBO@ has biult in heater... you don't have to wait 20seconds to start the car.... turn key let pump prime and start the car....
    you mustve misread it its actually 14.5:1...dude your going to blow up your motor.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    pray tell my good man!!
    from the factory the car while in closed loop for the most part will command 14.7 and usually do pretty well in keeping it there...dfco is a whole nother issue though.

    sorry, I misunderstood
    I am in open loop until 68F (stock) then closed.

    soundengineer wanted me to stay in open for this reason:

    this will allow you to correct the curve of the MAF and then you will have more correct fueling to begin with in closed loop....

    yeah...
    what I'm pushing for is fo ryou to be in open loop so you can use a wideband to get A/F readings...and using AFR error % [100*((AFR-Commanded AFR)/commanded AFR)]
    you can then use that table to multiply by % and do it a few times to really dial it in....
    then your MAF curve will be correct and you can go back into closed loop
    this should net you teh best results as your MAF table will be commanding the right amount of fuel to begin with....any trimming is then indication that your o2's need adjustment..possibly different switchpoints...possibly just need new o2's or different o2's

    and since you dont have EIO...you cnat do any of that and should wait to make sure you have a way to see AF with all teh data you log.....

    you can always wire the wideband 0-5v output to something like the EGR wires and just not worry about egr.leave it disconnected.... and just log EGR voltage and make a custom PID to convert it to A/F
    5volts/afr range of wideband + minimum AFR
    it will get you an afr you can log..and you can use an excel sheet to do AFR error...
    I think I have one on my site at

    www.audiohelix.com/file


    should be an excell sheet for AFR error in there somewhere

    sry, that link doesnt work
    so, should I turn PE off when I'm doing this Open loop maf-correction logging?
    PE=100%?

    My AEM has a way to hook it up to an RS 232 serial cable so you can log real AFR in HyperTerminal, or any kind of terminal telnet type program....
    The only problem is how can I compare the HPT scan & the telnet program.
    I need something that timestamps.
    I should just order the EIO.

    do you know which of the 4 EGR wires I should tap into with my 0-5v WB?
    I guess it doesnt matter?
    I should do a sticky writeup on how to calibrate the MAF, etc.

    on custom PID:
    the sensor: should be set at "exhaust gas temperature" ?
    the AFR range of my AEM wideband is 10.0:1 - 18.5:1
    I dont know what I should use for my minimum afr?

    you will have to build a pid that basically says
    ([pid.2811]/(5/8.5))+10

    pid 2811 should be egr voltage....need to figure out for sure what it is on a v6....

    you are right!! 2811 is egr position #2, 2810 is "egr position #1" so I'm thinking #1 is like %, and #2 might be voltage or vice versa.

    It asks for which sensor to use?

    I'm not sure which of the 4 EGR wires to tap into, it probably doesnt matter?

    This is just a TEMPORARY FIX until I get my EIO.

    you dont have to specify a sensor...but I would just specify Air Fuel Ratio..LOL..just be sure to specify AFR as the units of measure as well

    from the diagram I have
    it looks like you need the brown for egr pintle position and black for the ground...
