It is RUNNING!!! Only too rich-help!

Post by twotyerfryer »

Ford 2.3 turbo MSII V.3 MSD 6AL (D.I.Y. Autotune mod "How to Megasquirt your Mustang with TFI and MSD")

I've finally got the car running, only now it's too rich. I've set up the Req_Fuel for my engine and injectors (6.8 upper and 6.8 lower with 2 injections per cycle and alternating). I've set Afterstart Enrichment to 40% and 200 ignition cycles. Pulse @ -40F is 6.0 and pulse @ 160F is 3.0. I replaced the spark plugs hoping they were fouled from last time I raced but to no avail. The Warmup Enrichment @-140F is 180% and tapers down to 160F is 100% as found on the left side of the Warmup Wizard window. I posted my problems on another board that deals specifically with the Ford 2.3 turbo engine and found no real solution. Any help is appreciated. -Steve

With a 'generated' VE table it will run rich as a pig. You will have to dial it down a bit. Don't mess with your constants to much as once they are set, they set kinda thing.

Set your idle mixture for peak vacuum and thoroughly read the tuning manual until your eyes bleed :lol:
