Starting Timer from ignition on

[JamesB]

I have been tuning the IAT trim on my Nissan R33 GTR, and it follows what I've seen as recommended values (i.e. about -2% per 10deg C above 20). The problem I have is with plenum heat soak affecting a hot restart - when she briefly needs additional fuel not less to avoid lean stalling. If I set the IAT table to add fuel at zero throttle the CLL has to subtract a load when idling in traffic as the IAT gradually rises.

My plan is to set the IAT for normal running (i.e. subtracting from the fuel table), but use a Virtual Aux and Timer to switch a 4D fuel table adding more gas in the 60 seconds after ignition-on only when IAT exceeds 40 deg. The digital input for the ignition start (DI #2) is only active during cranking and once this ends the Timer cancels. I'm not sure what (if anything) I can use to initiate the timer (in conjunction with IAT) exclusively when starting up and at no other time.

Hi James

Try setting the timer to be activated by Virtual Aux 1, and cause Virtual Aux 1 to be on when engine speed is over 100. Then cause the timer polarity to 'Reset When Off''.

Scott,

That's perfect! . I had thought that, with the engine running normally (and hence engine speed constantly above 100 rpm) that the timer function would start, reset and keep cycling. I realise now that the timer activation condition will only be met with high IAT and engine speed starting below 100 rpm then exceeding it. Learn something new every day.

Cheers.
