Update
Pulling the battery power reset the computer and all is good in the world again. Thank you for the gimme. I'm still new at this EST thing as you can tell I'm sure.
The Mask I am using displays the Mask ID
in hex so it is not required to specify the $ before the AA. I am sure I had the checksum disabled.
That being said, I had some issues getting Emulation/Logging working this morning. It would say it was communicating but it did not actually work. I got to tinkering and found an option to 'Initialize Emulation Hardware' I clicked it and sure enough the Logging started working. I had some stuff to do today so I opted to just log and not emulate but I feel reasonably confident it too will work now. Not sure if that had anything to do with the malfunction yesterday or not. I am thinking it would not run at all while the emulator is plugged in if it wasn't actively passing information.????
I made some headway with the bog/dying I was experiencing. I noticed I had an advance timing value of 23k+ when the bog was happening. I remembered reading about it previously so I went back and found
http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...-Advance/page2 from Dec 2019 started by Jimmie. As a result, I zero'd the Main spark Bias and the Altitude Spark Bias. Made quite a difference. I could actually get off the line without it dying on me although the bog was still evident. Next I turned the Injector lb/hr value down to 64 lb/hr from 84 lb/hr. Still bogs slightly initiating hard throttle from a stop but man - it really woke up.
So here's the deal I am wondering about now. Obviously I need more fuel and we can get there from here with either higher pressure or bigger injectors or both. I am good with this.
Question is WTH does this thing WANT to pull a crap-ton of timing coming off idle? This has me stumped. I don't like the idea of leaving the spark Bias at ZERO as it gets pretty warm here in the summer and I have no doubt it will make a difference on the tune when it warms back up. I am concerned detonation weather is around the corner and I rather like the option of going negative to save the engine when it's hot. I have a feeling the timing will be high across the board at this point since I just removed the Bias values. I will capture that in the next session
Is the timing issue related to the MAP increase on sudden throttle? That's where I will be looking next. I don't to mask the root cause with removing the Spark Bias.
As always, appreciate any input.
