I understand your question. The first column would be the
one that changes when editing the MAF scalar table (the 198
value).

To do this properly the bin editor would reverse the above
equation. If the user wanted to change the 37.1 gms/sec value
(1.92 MAF volts) to 40 gms/sec:

N = (gms/sec * 256) / scalar

N = (40 * 256) / 48

N = 213

The value 213 would end up in the first column of the scalar
table replacing the value of 198. The reason I listed the MAF volts
is due to the MAF scalar tables being referenced to MAF voltage.

As the MAF volts is not available via the ALDL it is understandable
that most folks refer to gms/sec locations whenever they work
with the MAF scalar tables.

This does make it confusing. Just need to remember that the
MAF scalar table locations are based on MAF voltage. The table
values are the gms/sec of airflow at that MAF voltage. Then of
course the MAF voltage is the actual output from the MAF based
on how much air the MAF feels (bad pun) is flowing through it.

RBob.

P.S. If I were doing MAF scalar table tweaking I would change an
ALDL location to output the MAF volts. In that manner the MAF
tables could be more accurately referenced.

Looks like you changed MAF scalar tables 1, 2 & 3. Here are the
tables from the two bins roughed out:

Code:
File:   stkmaf.bin

; MAF scalar table 1

005B3   24	; tbl scalar
005B4    8	; tbl line cnt

005B5   64	; gms/sec = (64 * 24) / 256 = 6 gms/sec
005B6   36	; 
005B7   50
005B8   68
005B9   93
005BA  121
005BB  153
005BC  193
005BD  246

; MAF scalar table 2

005BE   48	; tbl scalar
005BF    8	                ; tbl line cnt
005C0  123
005C1  134
005C2  149
005C3  164
005C4  180
005C5  199
005C6  217
005C7  236
005C8  253

; MAF scalar table 3

005C9   81	; tbl scalar
005CA    8	; tbl line cnt
005CB  150
005CC  161
005CD  173
005CE  185
005CF  198
005D0  211
005D1  225
005D2  240
005D3  255



File:   modmaf.bin

; MAF scalar table 1

005B3   24	; tbl scalar
005B4    8	; tbl line cnt
005B5   64
005B6   41
005B7   58
005B8   75
005B9   93

005C3  162
005C4  180
005C5  195
005C6  214
005C7  232
005C8  253

; MAF scalar table 3

005C9   81	; tbl scalar
005CA    8	; tbl line cnt
005CB  150
005CC  161
005CD  172
005CE  184
005CF  196
005D0  208
005D1  221
005D2  237
005D3  255
The first column is the bin address in hex. The second column
is the bin value in decimal. Will need to do the math on each
to get the gms/sec airflow. Also look at the hac for the MAF volts
that correspond to each row.

I can't figure out how those changes dramatically upset lv8 calculation as others have stressed

This is where an ecm bench pays for itself in minutes, but we'll do it the PITA way.

Take a copilot or datalog some given conidtions, repeat them 5-6x so you have an accurate data sampling.

Then in the range of 15gm/sec make some serious MAF table changes.

Repeat the data logging and compare results.

You'll note, the indicated gm/sec at a given circumstance has changed. Once you change the gm/sec, it changes the LV8 calculation.

The calculation defines what gm/sec your at in ref to a MAF voltage.

If you had a bench, I could splain a faster way to get it, but trying it on a car, wouldn't even be a good idea.

Grumpy,look at the changes I made to the 3 tables.I only made very minor corrections.I'm not aiming to recalibrate the maf tables.I've just gotten amazing results just by making changes similar to the bins I posted for download.I can see how serious changes could be very bad.I'm not doing things entirely blind though.In fact I have a logic that works for minor changes in the maf tables. Look at the bins and tell me what you think.If those changes are too radical let me know.Even if you feel I'm wrong at least there is alot more info on maf cars now.People can search and find pieces of the code and how to understand it.I would like to thank everyone that has helped me!

He already quoted it once above, am I missing something?
