hi all

there was a thread a time ago, unfortunately i haven´t found it...

topic was.."tinkering with the trip/milage computer.."

anyways, i installed 42# injectors, and changed the constant at

L8824 (FCB824) from HEX 76 to HEX E1

im getting now exorbitant high readings, thats just unbelievable..

can someone bring light in this situation?

thank you

I was probably involved in the original thread along with Trog and others.

Found it:

Have the normal (single fire and double fire) injector constants been increased to the appropriate values also?

A mismatch here could cause the behavior you described (very high indicated fuel consumption) since the injector pulses would still be long (assuming 23 #/hr constants) but the displayed fuel rate would be about double.

Increasing the injector constants will shorten the injector pulse width, so the increased display rate change should offset this.

Note: changing these constants, if not already done, will condiderably lean out your tune, so you will need other changes to compensate.

I have to do some digging to verify the addresses for a 90 bin, but it sounds like your change has had an effect on the displayed mpg.

Hi

ok, i increased the value in the constant table from 24 to 42#, and changed the value at FCB 824

where can i find the single/double fire constant?

thank you

My bad, it seems the 8D mask only has the single fire constant, and not both like the earlier MAF masks (6E, 32B, 32, etc). Sorry for any confustion.

I'm not that familiar with 8D or speed density.

This value is found at address L841C. This is likely the value you have already adjusted in the constant table. So it sounds like you got it.

Perhaps your running into fixed limits or offsets in the injector pw calculation that are affecting the results.

thank you !!

ok, so theres not much i can really do about..

should i switch to 30# injectors?

maybe this would also help my surging problem at low speeds...

thank you
