I've been investigating how to enable to built in flex fuel support and toying with the idea of enhancing it to get timing added based on ethanol content.  I was hoping for a sanity check.

I BELIEVE:
lc_fac_afu_ratio_conf = 00 (this will enable the sensor)
lc_fac_afu_ratio_man_act = 00 (this will disable the manual e-level in calibration)

It looks like those are the only two things that need to be changed to get the ECU to start reading from a sensor and adjusting mff accordingly.... Is there anything I'm missing?  I've read through ALFU a number of times but it's very possible I'm missing something....

EDIT:
c_state_srv_1_pid[N][10] is the bitfield that contains the PID for ethanol content (PID52).


Also, I've an idea for ethanol level based timing, though it relies on some modifications to existing ASW patches that I didn't develop so it's not mine to share.  Does anybody have any [high level] insight into adding timing for ethanol?  I assume it's either custom ASW or relying on the factory knock detection/correction (since my ASW has NLC_IGSP_H_RON_COR = 0).

Hey James,
     Have you gotten any further with this? I'm also stuck on finding a solution to add timing per Ethanol percent.

Yes, I wrote my own patch.

2 new tables in the CAL, one as an ignition modifier (rpm vs airmass) and the other to scale the ignition modifier based on ethanol content.

This is the basic that is needed yes. There are quite a few other maps which you can activate or change to get some better results with the econtent but they are more related to using the AFU without a sensor.

Patching the ECU is an extra map for the timing increase with E content is very worth while but not essential if you dont mind having various maps to flash on based on E fuel
