accuracy of fuel trim autotune

Post by Yves »

How accurate is this or is it suffering from the same problems as regular autotune with regards to exhaust gas delay ?

It uses the same delays as normal auto tune.

If you are having issues do to the delay settings, you either have a very odd set up, or more likely have a problem somewhere else.

They argument 'have a problem somewhere else' is usually used here when the developpers don't have an answer. It's plain wrong in a lot of cases.

Could be, but thus far you have not provided any information or details about your issue. So unfortunately I have to fall back to past experience in supporting thousands of users for years.
Your case could be different, I run into new scenarios commonly. But again no details.

I see you are using ITB mode, that is good to know. That is a minority usage.

What type of problem are you having?
Do you have a datalog where it was not behaving as desired?

I have not used autotune since I first went over to ITB mode. Like I said, I usually use MLV to dial in the fuel table. However, in all of the times I have used autotune in an effort to get close, it always gave results that were far from optimal.

So long as "Load" is being used as the load axis on the table, it shouldn't matter what fuel algorithm you use.
