Forcing open loop on the 8746
Hi,
I am trying to pass the good old Oregon State Sniffer
i treid to force open loop, since i was failing HC's really badly at idle, i figure this is due to the cam, and the false readings of the o2. when i set the closed loop enable temp to 255, it still seemed to correct for lean BL's. i then set the blm enable constants to points that i would never reach, it still seemed like it was correcting (o2 values around .450, HC readings never dropped, no matter what i did the tables). the only way i could get the o2 readings to drop, and the HC's on the test to drop, was to set the closed loop timer to 500seconds, this worked, but i have to get throught the test in those 500 seconds. is there something i am missing in disableing BL corrections, and forcing the computer to run purely off the tables at all times?

I was helpin him try to get through the sniffer, and were were looking for O2 Swing points in the code.
Couldn't find any. Any ideas? Or just keep her in open loop and take out fuel?
Weird thing was, we'd take out fuel run it through, ALMOST pass, take out a smidge more fuel and be back way high on HC again?
What the hell?

is 500 secs the max timeout on going CL? coolant temp and time i think are the 2 constants that can be set for closed loop switchover from open. i run a 7747 with tunercat. if you lock open i assume it runs off existing VE tables and the PE adder. how then is PE initiated? i am aware of AE being a function of TPS movement as well as MAP but uncertain whether PE is similar or dependent on RPM's over 3600 to trigger it. i too am considering running open loop only at idle and off idle, when the cam goes in with WB tuning.

PE mode comes in a certain % throttle, there may be other things needed for it also though.
the real key to the cam would be some sort of rpm vs o2 swing point, then we could lean out the idle and low RPMs.

Rbob, the first set makes complete sense.
can you explain a little more on the last three tables.

If all else is OK, cat, O2 sensor, plugs, wires, cap, fresh oil, timing, EGR valve (not leaking); 2 gals of denatured alcohol to 8 gals of gasoline . . .

how exactly is the airflowed figured? it has the addresses for where it gets that information, but is there a way that i can determine what airflow values i have based on my VE tables? something like VE * RPM * 230.4 ?

The math is:
L002B = ((MapAdc * 189) / 256) + 21
gms/sec = ( (((L002B * 120) / 256) + 18) * (rpm / 12.5) ) / 256
With the final gms/sec value limited to 64. The rpm term in the equation is the actual rpm divided by 25.
