Re: need help tuning
You could try to zip the log and attach that way.
Find the Manuals up top under Quick links: Manuals.

Re: need help tuning
If it is repeatable just make a short log of the problem.

Re: need help tuning
Your VE values are all pretty low, I'm not surprised that it is lean. How did you come up with that VE table.

Re: need help tuning
Yea, my AEB has higher Ve values, quite a bit higher on every area except close to idle, which are similar.
Check out the peak around 93kpa and 2466rpm and it is low all around it. A peak like that can be caused by Autotune if theses cells are the only ones driven thru consistently. Bring surrounding ones up, and maybe these down a bit.
How does it drive when not on WOT?

Re: need help tuning
For reference, I have attached my Ve table.
I'm not saying it is perfect and I doubt will work on your engine, but might help you.

Re: need help tuning
To get more tuning ability (better resolution) you can change your VE table kpa settings.
From 20kpa to 100 kpa make these the first 12 lines and use the upper 4 lines for boost.
This will give you the ability to tune drive ability much easier.
Matt from DIY said this in another post and it works very well.
As he said 4 lines for boost are plenty.
I reset mine and did a little retuning and drive ability is so much smoother.

Re: need help tuning
This is a good idea that makes sense. Why not have the greatest resolution in those areas where you drive the most!To get more tuning ability (better resolution) you can change your VE table kpa settings.
From 20kpa to 100 kpa make these the first 12 lines and use the upper 4 lines for boost.
