I talked to steve for about an hour. he got my car idling great and LEARN'T me quite a few things. showed me the basics of how things are layed out in the program. gonna be having him show me how to read data logs soon
I sure hope so.. Steves been awesome puttin up with my persistence haha. It just seems like alot of input to soak in.. I spent all winter reading everything i could about megasquirt and tuning that i could find before i bought the ms... And soon as i got the ms installed POOOOF. I basically forgot everything ive been reading and studying over the winter. The basics stayed with me. Like some fuel timing and other factors. But the majority of the stuff hes been helping me with. I didnt read anything that actually covered those subjects. So basically hes helpin me with the voodoo that was left out of all the info that i was reading... Thank god for the man named A91 lmfao. Or else i would be stuck with a untuned undriveable car... Ill be definitely takin a few classes of his when i go back to work.. Gonna put in some extra hours just for classes lmfao
I was there. I felt like damn did I absorb any of that? Then things started to click. There’s still lots of stuff I want to learn. I’ll guarantee Steve will get you going. Make sure your comparing tunes so you can see what was changed and it’ll help you understand what changes did what. It’ll be fun eventually trust me.
once the tunes start to get into higher REV numbers [thats my numbering system to keep things organized] I will detail the changes made to the tune each time in the NOTES tab for the tune file.oh ive kept every tune since ive started... every tune and matching datalog.. and ive been goin over every single thing thats happend even got me a notebook that ive been writing everything down in so i can keep track of just about every possible move ive made or hes made... its crazy how hard it is tryin to keep track of everything... which im glad its all done on computer and that your able to datalog and save everything, or else id be lost haha
Text me first, at an osha 10 training day
Ok assuming there are no vacuum leaks, there are 2 ways to lower the idle if the TB is fully closed and iac valve is in full closed position.
#1 is to lower the idle timing, this will have an immediate effect on the idle speed.
#2 is to lean the engine out, this will reduce power and lower the idle speed.
I will look at the tune file and make a suggestion.
ok, now have you verified the timing on this engine using the trigger wizard?
check the engine for vacuum leaks, there must be something letting air in somewhere... can you post some pictures of the engine? how are the vacuum lines routed?
