hspeck Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Car has been behaving weird. Had a new tune and now sometimes when my TPS is at 0%, my engine RPM stays at above 1500rpm when I clutch in ro when I am in neutral gear.Sometimes the rpm will shoot up to close to 2000rpm when I depress the clutch.Initially I was thinking that maybe the TB was sticky, but the TPS shows 0%, and it works properly.Also,the engine rpm seems to take a while before it settles to idling speed too.Is it possible it is due to the tuning?What should I check in my log file?Thanks.

Brad Burnett Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 What youre describing sounds like a tune issue. Would need to see the calibration to know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hspeck Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Calibration as in the TPS calibration? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Calibration as in the TPS calibration? Thanks.ECU calibration or "map". A .pclr file. From the little information you have given above it looks like the idle ignition table might be some of the cause and I would say the rest is ISC set up and base position. It doesnt look like it has be tuned at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hspeck Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I see.I have attached the idle ignition table.My car is currently running open loop on idle, cos my tuner told me that he does not have an accurate data for the AEM UEGO. Is it possible that this is causing the issues?My afr is not reaching the target afr too, which I know is because it is running open loop on idle. Correct me if I am wrong.Thanks.

Is it possible that this is causing the issues?The wideband has nothing to do with idle speed control and open loop idle control is not related at all to open loop lambda control. Somebody is confused here. My afr is not reaching the target afr too, which I know is because it is running open loop on idle. Correct me if I am wrong. No again. It is not reaching target afr because it is poorly tuned. Idle control will have very little influence on fuel mixture at all. I suggest you turn of the idle ignition control for now until everything else is tuned properly. It looks like at least your fuel table is fairly poor so you will need to ensure the fuel and ignition tables are tuned properly before messing around with idle. When those are done a good starting point for the idle speed control would be to follow the procedure in the help file: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have attached the fuel and ignition table. I am running a Tomei Rb28 with 270 10.25 cams, 1000cc Bosch EV14 injectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Screenshots are not much help. You really need to attach the .pclr. Does the engine have the RB26 ITB's or a single T/B plenum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hspeck Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Single T/B plenumhave attached the .pclr fileThanks. AP24052017.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Ok, there's many scary things in this map but I think I found some of the idle problem, The speed lock out was set to like 20KM/h and all the idle up step settings were very large. For instance you had a 25% step for "neutral" which would have activated everytime you pressed the clutch in.Here is a map with some of those settings put back to our default GTR base map settings: Try this.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hspeck Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Hi Adam,I have tried the new map. It has solved the issue with the high rpm.However, during the short drive, whilst I was off throttle, the afr will suddenly shoots up to above 17 and it feels as if the enigine is gonna stall.I have attached some shots of my log earlier.greatly appreciate any thought on this issue. Thanks. Edited May 25, 2017 by hspeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Burnett Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hspeck,Instead of attaching screenshots, it is a much better idea to just attach either the .pcl file or the .llg file of the log. Screenshots do us no good at being able to see all the data required to make educated assessment of the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Burnett Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Have you contacted the person that tuned it?I would honestly explore that avenue first considering that you paid for a service and it was not provided correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hspeck Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Have you contacted the person that tuned it?I would honestly explore that avenue first considering that you paid for a service and it was not provided correctly.Yes, I will be meeting him late next week. I was hoping to have more information about the map and what could be wrong before I next meet him.it kinds of seems to be the car runing fine when on heavy load. However, it is during idle and usual driving that some problems appear.The car idles and cruise much more smoothly when it was tuned by the previous tuner, who is currently not available unfortunately. So i am sure it can be better with Link's G4+ plug in as I have experienced a very good tune before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I never like to say this but your map has multiple problems and doesnt look like it has been tuned well at all. It will probably be easier to reload in our GTR/GTS base map and start from scratch rather than try to fix what you have. I have only taken a very brief look and I dont have much info your your setup or fuel etc so I'm making many assumptions but here's a few things that dont look correct to me:There is no IAT fuel trim above 0°CFuel table axis only goes to 180KPa MGP, yet your ECU statistics show you have hit at least 240KPa MGP boost at some time.From you logs we can see that the fuel table is very poorly mapped (or there is some mechanical problem such as fuel pressure control). AFR drifts between 8-18AFR under almost steady state conditions.Transient ignition retard - You have a table set up that removes 8 deg of ignition timing whenever the throttle isnt moving?Idle ignition table is extreme and also active until 110KPaMain ignition table seems crazy with like 25deg at 260KPa!

hspeck Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 It doesn't sound like very good news I guess.I am running a Tomei RB28, using the 100cc Bosch EV14 injectors, NGK Iritop 8 plugs, HKS fuel rail and HKS fuel pump upgrade (think is 280L/H), Okada Plasma Direct, on GT-SS turbines (yeah, I know it is small for the RB28)....In the time being, I have imported an IAT fuel trim from my old map.For the transient iginition retard, what should be the usual number?Also for the idle ignition control what should the MAP lockout be?I realized the numbers are similar to my old map.Thanks Adam and Brad.

Adamw Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Turn idle ignition control off for now. Transient ignition retard would normally be zero but you should ask the tuner what he has added that for - if it was to get around some knock issue you could do more harm than good by messing with it..

hspeck Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I just remembered the tuner used something called the Alpha N to tune my car???Any idea what that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 No he hasnt. Your map is tuned using Speed Density which is probably the most appropriate for your engine with a single throttle. Alpha N is usually only needed on ITB's or engines with large overlap and often wont work as well as SD in a road car.Alpha = Throttle Angle, N = Engine speed. So for Alpha N your fuel table would have RPM on one axis and TP on the other. Your tables have RPM (speed) and MGP (density). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the reason why he might have considered using Alpha-N?I am not sure why he told me he was going to tune my car with Alpha-N when he used a MGP instead ... mind boggling...
