Default STFT doesn't work at idle?

So.... more bugs to work out since switching to ID1000's.

Car idles fine, but goes super rich at idle or slight throttle / no load situations (.81 lambda)

Noticed that my STFT stops working (freezes) when this happens. All my other normal driving modes needs tweeking but is close. Running closed loop with LTFT disabled.

Any ideas?

to be honest, I have noticed the full rich gets worse the warmer the car gets but didn't log it until after it was warmed up. So, I don't really know what STFT are doing when its cold.

Here is the tune.

Where did you get the short pulse limit and adder.... I don't think they are right.... although that wouldn't explain trims freezing

Got the data straight from a download on the ID site.

There were several charts to choose from depending on parameter setups. I think I picked the only ones that would work.

I just left computer but I have different numbers. I will look at ID site again to double check.

Your tuning SD, no MAF ?

the short pulse limit was changed to 3ms per the spread sheet from 4ms.

the short pulse adder is setup from 0ms - 4ms with 34 entries. the only option from the spreadsheet from 0-4 ms with 34 entries had slightly different numbers setup in the columns. so the numbers adjusted when pasting in.

I won't be able to confirm until tomorrow but pretty sure my limit is 2.75. It's been a while but remember getting that from Paul at ID at that time. I'll confirm in morning

I found the flow rate/ pressure tables didn't paste correctly. Had to input each value individually, but didn't change anything.

I did log from cold and drove a few miles. STFT stayed on "0" until it got to 101f. Once I got about a mile down the road, ECT when I came to the 1st stop sign the STFT froze, went rich at 138f.

Maybe on my lunch break tomorrow I can start up cold and just let it idle until it freezes and see if temp is consistant.

Attached is my log if you want to watch it.

The staying 0 when cold is normal. The factory setting is 102, so yours makes sense. Freezing after is not normal. Going to look better at the tune tomorrow. Maybe something there.

You numbers seem to be right according to the site. I have slightly different ones and I don't know why. Don't think it matters.

I don't see where your STFT are stopping. At what time are yo seeing that. I think one of your O2 sensors is dead, or not connected. In your log it doesn't move.

Your data between 1.3ms and 2.3ms doesn't line up with the id1000 sheet I just downloaded from their site, nor does it match with my data for id1ks in my tune. I haven't looked at your log yet, but I'd definitely double check SPA..you have negatives in there.

Didn't even notice the negatives.. good call. Mine is the same as yours, but my short pulse limit is 2.70

Yeah, injector data is wrong, at least for short pulse adder

Min PW is also probably too high

What's your fuel system setup look like?

Another good catch, I didn't see that.

Definitely need to go over your injector data again OP. I'll bet it will work fine once all that is fixed. Your min pw is .797 whereas it should be .125 from the data. That's a huge difference in the amount of fuel these injectors can dump.

That min PW table may be the issue actually.. if it's idling at the min PW then fuel trims can't remove anymore fuel no matter what they want to do.. so it may just be hitting the limit.

Would have to see a log to confirm, but change that whole table to like 0.125 and see what happens.

I was finally able to look at the logs. This is definitely whats going on. PW is stuck at .8 once it's warmed up.

Also OP I think you may be logging the wrong o2 sensors. You're logging b1s1 and b1s2 instead of b2s1 (I'm assuming you don't intend to log the post cat o2s).

No wonder it doesn't move. I really shouldn't look at tunes and logs at 3am.... mind doesn't work well..
