What is a good way to deal with going lean on acceleration?

Post by AATopFuel »

When I give it the accelerator it leans out and goes red on the gauge for a split second and then goes rich for a short period of time. What is the best way to deal with that?

Adjust acceleration enrichment triggers and amounts.

Keep in mind that it could be too rich as well my setup doesn't like much fuel at all. Post a log and msq is shorten the pw and lenthen the taper a few ms.

Lean spike usually means lag in the various lookups when you hit the throttle. Make sure TPS, MAP, and RPM lag factors are 90-100, set accel enrich thresholds as low as possible, etc.
Megasquirt is not for use on pollution controlled vehicles. Any advice I give is for off road use only.

OK, I will send you my Datalog and maybe you can see something I don't. I went from stock to your recommendations and I am still spiking.

from the accel menu lower the Accel tpsdot threshold from 200 to 30 and adjust the curve above
