injector pulse widths decrease at higher rpms?
why do the injector pulse widths get shorter the higher rpms u go? is it because they have less time to fire because the engine is rotating quicker? wouldn't this cause u to have less fuel when u actualy need more fuel?

here is the data i have gotten from the scan tool. its pretty crappy as it only records for like 3 seconds or so.. but it gets the job done

i dunno maybe the scan tolls istn working correctly. ?? but injector pulsewidth will fall off as the fuel demands of the engien fall of. typically the engine will begin to run out of air at HIGHRPM so you will need less fuel.

after the engine reachs peak TQ it will typically flow less air. go read some dyno sheets with cfm consumption charts youll see the trend.

Keep in mind that your fuel pressure goes up as the throttle is opened, so it is possible, although mine doesn't.
The pulse width is corrected by the O2 sensor so maybe on low load, you just didn't need the gas to get the revs, and the O2 would go low, so the ECU would cut back on the gas.
On high load, as the engine reaches the peak power it cannot get enough air through the inlet system, the air gets less and less dense as the vacumn starts to increase again, so it cannot handle the same amout of fuel on each stroke. Hence the shorter pulses.
At high revs, the engine produces more power, because it fires more frequently, but after a peak it makes less torque because it cannot get enough air, unless you supercharge, and can burn more fuel at the high revs. That's my guess.
