PWM Idle values and theory

Post by finkbuilt »

I searched, but could not find.

How should I set up the temp / duty cyclc pairs in the PWM Idle Table?

Shouldn't the range of this curve really only include the transition from open to closed, like say a range of +90 to +160 F or so? I am still learning about megatune, and bench testing. I havn't installed in a car yet.

I see that the default values go all the way down to -40F or so, but I dont understand why you would "waste" part of the curve like that.

I would appreciate some insight into the PWM Idle duty cycle settings.

thanks,

steve

hmm, I dont know. I dont see a reference to loop mode.

I just see a tables > PWM Idle Duty Cycle.

the "generate curve" function doesnt do anythig for me.

Maybe a better idea to post this in the MS-II forum?
