Default Canister Purge

Sorry about the cross post, but I am in a bind.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=257218

What it boils down to is that my BLMs bottom out when CCP duty cycle goes above 10%. I found this out when trying to create my VE vs. MAP/RPM lower tables. There is a huge gouge that is cut out at about 60-70 kPa and RPMs over 1100. Well, the problem is that since I am travelling 200 miles (hopefully today), that is a location I will be in quite often.

I can do a couple things. 1 is to fudge with the VE table (like I had unknowingly done in the past) so that my BLMs come back up to 128. This would require a bastardized VE table. 2 is to disable CCP. I have mixed thoughts of my own with just disabling the purge control considering all vapor lines will still be hooked up.

Any thoughts? Thanks, -Matt-

Hmmm, the blms bottom? Doesn't the int go down first? I'm just thinking the int should temporarily go down with the cannister purge but shouldn't stay down far/long enough to drag the blm that far down. Try disabling the cp as a test-if the blms and int stay near 128 then I'd take a look at the lines from the cannister-do they have raw fuel in them? I've noticed the int dip a bit with cp at about 50% but thats about it! I have had the vent ball in the tank stick and let fuel through from slosh.
