    Looking at the log when it got hot at end, it was idling and BLM bottomed out at 108. Earlier in log they were 115 which is under O2 feedback. So something about hotter is cleaner is not working here.

    I can mail you another chip with adjustments like Fast indicated? But I would get fans on earlier. Leave the PCV on...

    at this point ill take what I can get. fixin to go out and put in that hypertech chip I have. perty sure it is about stock. then I will log tht and post it. would the evap canister purging fuel tank pressure cause any of this? and was the egr working in the log yesterday or is that able to be seen. hell I might as well throw a 180 thermostat back in it I suppose since it seems to be working ass backwards.

    Temperature was fine until you stopped driving = stopped getting air to cool. Engine temps went up and BLM went down to bottom and stayed there. In the bin definition I can see where spark is changed to compensate for temperatures but not fuel? Doesn't matter, it won't help the problem, just need to keep engine temps closer to operating range. Is this the stock thermostat?

    The data log was only to see if there was an obvious issue. It's not going to tell us if we made emissions readings better or worse. At this point the data showed the engine get's to hot at idle. Maybe this is just after a highway cruise, but still there.

    EGR is not in data stream.

    For now the only thing we can fix is fan on time to keep engine at operating temp and tape up holes letting hot air in air cleaner. We will see if there's any more chip tips and I can mail you one. I don't do emmissions tuning so it's only to give you a helping hand. Have no experiance here and don't want any...

    Yes stock thermostat. Was thinkin if i got the engine to run around 190 it would be better. My 180 runs it there. Ill turn the fans down so as soon as i stop or skow down they come on

    115->108 = 6.5% less fuel being used. if not cleaner, it's at least more efficient.

    Well the engine stayed cool at idle at end of log, around 192*f but BLM still went to 108. Coolant temp stayed there a long time then at very end it started to go up again to 203*f like you shut the fans off?

    There's still no signs of anything wrong.

    Just let me know what you want to do? Seems like Fast has a plan and we will go with that unless we get more info...

    well cansome settings in a chip help it out? if so lets go that way. I was messing with the fan settings. if it getting hot is where the issue lies I might try a cooler thermostat just to see.
