Even if i switch off the can im still seeing the temp gauge at max with a cold engine. paigecansetp.pclr

Thanks paigecansetp.pclr

I'm trying to setup a can lambda but I'm unable to detect the lambda sensor in can devices. I have checked the runtime values with f12 and I have faults even without the can lambda connected to the ecu. ( I'm assuming this is my problem as to why it's not detecting it) what's really weird is that since trying to set this up I have noticed my temperature gauge goes to max ie overheating when the engine is cold. 2005 mini cooper s

It was a pretty old firmware version. im still learning could you give me an idea of what i should have in the 0 degree coloum of the accel enrichment and ill work it out from there? Im still setting the ecu up and only have the one file im working on, it started and ran great i updated the firmware it then started behaving strange so i reinstalled the only saved map i had.

so something strange happened this morning when i went to start the car up for the log it only just start and was running terrible. i had to alter the top left corner of the map to get the car to run correctly it was running mega lean even with the warmup enrichment. but after around 20 seconds of running i had to remove the extra fuel i added as it was running to rich. I dont have a before and after of my tune only where i am at the moment. startup.llgx NM06MXF.pclx

Since I carried out a firmware update my mini doesn't like to rev when cold. In order to rev the car I have to feather the throttle to build up a little rpm before I can get high rpm. If I hold the throttle for more than a second or two the lambda reads mega lean and it cuts out. I have tried putting my saved map on buts its still the same. If the car is 95 degrees or above its seems to be fine.

Thank you. I guess the sensor is effectively just a microphone so it's shouldn't really matter but thought I'd ask the question from someone in the know.

Hi adam thanks for your help I'll give that a try and report back.

HI i have recently bought myself some Phormula knock detection which comes with its own knock sensor. My question is can i use the factory fitted knock sensor or is the knock detection calibrated to its own sensor. i dont have a problem using the sensor thats supplied with the kit but i am limited with fitting location and i would have to remove the factory fitted one to install it. The connector / wire thats on the knock detection is the same as my factory fitted one. Thanks

i checked the enrichment table's and your guess is really close to the base map settings. i tried making a change of +10 in the main fuel table but that didn't really make much of a difference. i was running 0.850 lambda on start up but that quickly changed as the warm up enrichment started to decrease. one thing i didn't notice but im unsure why is my lambda changed to around 0.930 until my coolant hit 50 degrees. The lambda then suddenly changed to 0.860 where its stayed for a little. Its like the warm up enrichment suddenly started again.

The car is an R53 mini, running tesco momentum fuel, its running 550cc injectors a big valve head and an aggressive camshaft. I have a link can lambda sensor wired in but have noticed from cold the car doesnt seem to run that rich ie doesnt look like warm up enrichment is adding much fuel and im close to my afr target.

thanks warchild. i tried this and logged the results, the car was in the garage last night so wasnt as cold as usual. It still didnt as well as it shoud. Coldstart.llg DAVE.pclr

During cold mornings (around 10 degrees) I'm having bother starting the car. I'm having to turn the car over on the starter motor for around 1 - 1 1/2 minutes. If I try and start the car for 10secs and then try again a few times it starts much easier. I have tried changing the crank enrichment around the 10 degrees mark but it makes no difference. Should I enable pre crank prime? It was off as default and wondered whether or not this will help. The car starts fine when hot but with the winter coming it's becoming increasingly difficult as the temps drop. Thanks

That has worked a treat! thanks. My idle is pretty stable but is still a little slow at responding. im not sure whats happened to the tables as i wouldn't have put zero's across the whole table. Here is the log of my idle after the adjustments you have made. idlechangelog.llg

hi Adam Thanks for the reply. I have been trying to different things to see if i can the idle better and got mixed up with the files. i have created a log with the closed loop idle control. altho i must add even with the open loop idle i still cant get a stable idle. Where should i start with my e-throttle target table numbers? idleclosedloo.llg
