  2. Miata 1.6T throttle

    in G4+

    Posted

    Does the car have the stock TPS? Is it manual? 90-93 manual NA6 Miata’s have an on/off sensor instead of variable 0-5v sensor. In this case you’ll need to install a VTPS, but if it already has an aftermarket sensor then it’s not working right as Adamw said

  9. CLL - Minimum lockout parameters & LTFT table setup

    I've reconfigured my trim limit tables to be MGP vs MAP delta seeming I wasn't varying limits with rpm anyway. I'll have it the same, but run zero's for negative MAP delta values. By the time it gets back to positive delta it will be below my MGP trim limit. See how it goes..

    I tried something as you described but with TPS delta instead and it worked well today. Thanks for that idea.

  14. CLL - Minimum lockout parameters & LTFT table setup

    Sorry to bring this thread back, but I'm experiencing an issue with CLL causing small lean spikes after a decel and was looking for minimum lockouts, negative TPS delta lockouts, or some method of fixing these with the current settings.

    Sometimes when getting back on the throttle after a decel that didn't engage fuel cut CLL goes to its min clamp and causes a lean spike that makes the car stumble. I do disable CLL during overrun using the 3D tables, but the transition from a disabled cell to a regular cell seem to be the issue. I've added a log and current tune to my shared drive in case you have any suggestions on how to fix these with the current settings. I had made some changes to the tune the car had before I came across this thread. I can take another log tomorrow if that's an issue.

    Any chance the minimum lockouts could be reconsidered? Having a negative tps delta lockout that forces CLL to wait for the reactivation delay would help with some of my events.

    Thank you,

  16. Exporting Logs to Megalogviewer HD

    Thank you, Adam. Adding a character as you said did the trick in my older logs as well. One more tiny thing I noticed is that Lambda 1 says Lambda1 in the exports (missing a space). Obviously not an issue, just figured I'll mention it because the other Lambda [2-8] do have a space.

  18. Exporting Logs to Megalogviewer HD

    I've been using Megalogviewer HD to review logs but I'm not having luck importing the logs without manually modifying the CSVs. Maybe I'm missing something, but I go to 'Logging' > 'Export', select 'Full Log' and 'File Time'. Once the file is exported it contains a blank line after the units, and I'm not able to import into MLVHD unless I remove them both. See screenshot in the link below.

    Am I missing something? I've contacted EFI Analytics about this but haven't gotten a response yet. Linked is a sample exported log where line 3 contains the units, and line 4 is the white line, and the same log with these lines removed that I'm able to import into MLVHD. Any ideas?

  20. Possible Alternator Control Improvements

    in WishList

    Sorry, tune file attached. Thanks for the information, sometimes I don't know what 'normal' or 'acceptable' is. I do have closed-loop idle control and I do use Engine Fan Idle Up, but because of the routing of the IACV to the vacuum block it does take sometime for the idle to increase. It is an ITB motor, so some things are unusual. I'm working on this at the moment. As for the targets, I'm personally not interested in lower voltages during idle or WOT, just thought other people might be. Thank you for the responses by the way.

    You might just need to make adjustments on the 'Alternator Control' PID to make it more responsive to changes in charging voltage.  'Alt Control Target Table' you can also change to 3D so you can have another parameter as qualifier for your target voltage.

    As the idle speed is a big factor for alt charging, have you already maximized the following?
    Engine Fan Idle Up
    Power Steer Idle Up
    Gear/Drive Idle Up
    GP Idle Up
    AC Idle Up
    *Most of the above can be assigned to a 'Virtual Aux' that could be triggered by multiple parameters/sources (depending on conditions you set on 'GP Input').

    'Idle Base Position Table' and 'Idle Target RPM Table' can also be changed to 3D with your choice of another parameter on the Y-axis.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Currently the control responds within 0.1 seconds, and gets to target around 0.25 seconds after the fan turns on. Is this a good response time?

    In my case I only use Engine Fan Idle Up as my car doesn't have AC, PS and is manual. I looked at a log after you mentioned it and the dip does happen between Fan 1 turning on and idle increasing. Attached is a log with two Fan on events. 3:10 in the idling section, or 10:54 of the whole file.

    Hi all. The alternator control seems to be working well on my car, but I've noticed that it has momentary errors up to 0.8v when accessories are turned on/off. Could it be possible to add load offsets similar to the idle control offsets? This way we can increase/decrease the duty cycle on expected demand?

    Another consideration could be adding dedicated targets for charging, overrun, idle and full throttle. Having one target and base table doesn't allow for having multiple of these at once easily.

  23. Alternative to GaugeArt CAN gauge ?

    I use a CANChecked MFA 2.0 and it has performed well so far. I have used it for 8 months, first on MS and now in Link. It doesn't offer custom warnings like the GaugeART or Perfect Tuning, it can be cumbersome to configure at first, and I've found that not all channels are showing values but that could be wrong configuration on my CAN setup. What I like about it is that it is discreet in the MX-5 dash, has a discreet shift light and it can also be set it up as an analog display to be less distracting. You can setup popup warnings or discreet warnings for each sensor. I have had to use support because I broke the rotary switch and Stephan was responsive and helpful.

    I don't have any direct experience with the others.
