Guys,

I'm running a bit lean while in boost around 12.8 and I believe I should be in the 11's - I've also got a weird issue where if I throw her into neutral an coast to a red light she tends to idle as if I have a vac leak and my wide band runs up to 17s and back down over and over. It will do this consistently until I get under around 15 mph to a stopping point then shes back to a normal idle.  I believe this also has to do with my AFR.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Specs are shown below and I can supply my recent logs if needed.

Of course, because you have made it lean  Wink.

KFLF is not AFR request.
0.85 means 14.7(aprox) + 15% = around 16.9 without lambda correction.

But if you use methanol you should lean it a little via KFLF or KFKHFM to prevent misfires.


By the way, what software do you use? ECM Titanium also "think" that KFLF = AFR request.

Hrm, well i run 14.7 when cruising and i thought 0.1000 was the desired lambda for 14.7

The software is Eurodyne Maestro

No!
Lambda 0,85 means:
14,7 AFR * 0,85 = AFR 12,5.

If you see 12,8 on your WB gauge, it can be due to a lot of things.
Request is AFR 12,5 from that map.

No rocket science.

Eh, appreciate the patience everyone.  New to the tuning scene.

So, i need to tune more towards .78 request for this map if I want 11.5ish while in WOT (boost)?

Yeap, I was wrong  Grin

No!
Lambda 0,85 means:
14,7 AFR * 0,85 = AFR 12,5.

Its for BTS or LAMFA, not for KFLF, like I thought) Strange thoughts  Grin
