So the rest of the At went well and I exported learned cells, and saved the tune to the PV. Brought up WinPV and did a compare from the previous tune and all of the cells I didn't hit, we're all showing 10% delta (this is normally zero for me previously)

The other thing I noticed immediately was that the displacement of the new tune showed 107.4ci. I'd love to have 107 but I don't!

Any input? looks like this AT was a wasted of good gas.
When you exported learned values did it tell you that one or more cells exceeded 127.5 and then ask you if you wanted to scale or cap? I'm thinking this is what happened and you hit scale so the PV scaled your motor size up to 107. If you didn't exceed 127.5 and get the scale or cap screen then something weird's going on.

Jim, that's exactly what it did. So I should have said CAP?

I ended up scaling mine up, now my 107 has a 122 tune in it. Started with a 113 tune from FM. I scaled up because I had over 8 cells that were maxed out at 127.5 what i did was after my AT run I hit the mode button until I get to the new ve screen. That way you can see if your maxed out cells are at 128 or higher at say 135.

If anyone knows if the new and the old style sensors degrade the same way could they post. About all I do to check my sensors is datalog from time to time and check the O2 voltage (currently between 0.82 - 1.72) Not sure what this means but it shows that are switching on and off.
Well that is what I am looking for the richest Lambda setting I can run without pushing or going out of range of the o2's
Thx for the input, JIM and Delta.
I can lower the numbers from .981 FM map Jamie sent with the tuner. He also had the closed loop switch off too. SO I will add the channel( o2 volt) and watch it as I lower the values in the Lambda tables. if I can get it down to 14.35 I would happy for a good Hot Summer closed loop tune.

PS in the closed loop Lambda range tree in winpv 1.013 high and 9.76 low.
these values are safe in between them?

I replaced all my .981 values with .977 to be as rich as possible while still maintaining closed loop. For reasons stated earlier in this thread I prefer closed loop. Now, if I had 2 wheels instead of 3 I would run open loop with fuel values more rich. I wouldn't add the O2 channels, not really sure if it would tell you anything other then they are switching on and off. I think the issue folks worry about is if they are running rich enough to carbon up or soot up the sensor. As Jim stated, the further away from the mean you get, the less accurate the sensor becomes. The channels I monitor for my closed loop are the CLI and AFF. When you enter an area of your map that is below .977 these channels pick up no data change. The added benefit being you can observe how accurate your VEs are.

The best thing I have done to get cooler running temps, in addition to tuning, is to install the fan system from wardspartswerks.

Got it. Good idea. I've seen the scaling message before, but not seen the engine size get bumped up.

A bit of info: As far as selecting scale or cap it really depends on what kind of corrections the VE model is requiring. By choosing scale it raises the displacement constant and lowers peak VE but normalizes the rest of the VE's to compensate, on the other hand cap will simply "cap" the peak VE at the 127.5 limit. The key to determining cap or scale is to look at the VE tables as not only how many cells are at or near the limit, any large swings in VE that should be blended or smoothed first, or if it is an anomaly such as a rogue cell or maybe a decell correction. You can view the VE tables and recommended corrections right on the PV when in AT mode under Mode before you export your learned values. Generally speaking I like to cap the first couple sessions and watch for specific trends, if necessary I the scale if needed. What can happen for example is if you scale a somewhat untuned map or say a combo that comes up real big on the cam it may scale excessively and the low load VE becomes abnormally low. Hope this info helps

For completeness sake, what specific values would be considered abnormally low?

I have been using LT to trim off a little bit of timing at a time and for the heck of it I checked the front and rear VE delta with the log tuner. There was a group of 7 cells near the center of the map that was .98-1 both front and rear. Should I bother to accept these while I am at it? Thanks.
