Fuel pump voltage correction and heated O2
Fuel pump voltage correction and heated O2
A lot of people tap their heated O2 into the fuel pump power. Will this draw down fuel pump voltage and in turn raise the injector pulse width due to the correction table?

With my Diacom, I can monitor my fuel pump's voltage along with my battery's voltage. The fuel pump is always .2 volts higher than the battery's. If I turn on my headlights or rear window defroster, it takes voltage from my total system and affects my fuel pumps voltage anyways, so I think its a non issue.
Besides, I think the draw from the O2 sensor is neglgible.

That's why there is a voltage corection for the injectors, if the pump v drops then you need a longer correction.
The fuel pump needs checked anyway.
I have a relay mounted right near the pump, with a Heavy Fused wire directly to the battery to make sure the fuel pump gets battery voltage. On my car you can hear the difference when you switch the aux pump power on.

As Grumpy said, there is an Injector/Battery Voltage correction table. Assuming 14.2-14.4 is normal voltage, any voltage under 14.2 will tend to lean an engine due to and above will richen it. The correction table actually adds more fuel at the lower voltage readings and decreases fuel at the higher voltage readings (within certain limits).
I have found these correction factors very good and have not yet had to "improve" them. I have an underdrive crank pulley and I am still able to maintain my BLM/INT values when I have ALL the accessories on while idling and my voltage drops below 12 volts.
