It should be double that, you have the custom IDC PID set up incorrectly. Lemme find the correct one for ya.

I think this is the right equation: Injector Pulse Width * Engine Speed / 1200

Yours may be setup to divide by 2400 possibly.

I was told the one that came with HPtuners was the right PID.

hmmm....i am a little new to tuning, but your IDC is only 44%?? and your A/F ratio is 10.9:1, right?? or am i readin something wrong?? is that not running pretty lean???

10.9 is rich on these cars. The duty cycle is definetly only reading 50% of actual.

Yeah, you double that reading to 88%. Any runs up near 7,000 rpm?

oh, right, sorry i just got off a 18hr shift, i was thinking lower is lean and higher is rich...shit, time for bed:bye::lol:

87.4567% idc at 5900 rpm and u still got another 1100 rpm to go...110%+idcs coming LOL

Nope. It is well configured give me 2 minutes to upload proof to you.

It sould also be mentioned that is commanded afr is 10.90 but that is not actually what it is...iirc 877mv O2S1 is around 12.5:1 - 13.0:1

No wideband...no actual afr reading

Mine came with the correct setup for the PID but read like yours is. I had to make a PID the exact same and it reads correctly now.

Your duty cycle numbers indicate the 42 pounders are good to about 600 crank HP. Take my word for it, they aren't.

Try setting it up with the PID for a single injector instead of the sensor for "Injector". It looks like it may be taking an average of 8 injector PIDs (we only have 4 of course).

Dan, you know that the stock o2 sensor means nothing...
What I need is a Wideband to get a real readup. The file am using right now is the updated stageII.

I know they are not good to 600 crank HP.
Am just trying to understand why am I getting such low IDC's compared to some of you.

Id also start logging KR if I were u and u may want to check into all those reading for bank 2...last time i checked we only had 1 bank That may be teh source of ur prob as an avg of 17.8 and 0 avg'd together will give u half the reading

Dan, am not that much of a noob when it comes to tuning and datalogging been doing it for a while now....you dont think I already scanned for KR...lol..thanks for the tip.

From all the scans I have done I get no KR expect the occasional 0.4 on shifts. The Stage II file is working very well for me as fas a KR is concern.

You need to remove any PID's that reference bank 2 in your config. Thats what is messing up your IDC calculation.

IPW bank 2
STFT bank 2
LTFT bank 2

I will very soon at the dyno but I hate to rev that high on the street...Damn tickets are expensive..:cussing: LOL..I already have 2 high speed tickets to pay.

LOL, I saw a thread on the RL forums about getting a ticket while tuning. I usually tune in 3rd gear on the highway, but I guess there's always second. ;)

Interesting point!! I will log with just minimum PID's (IDC, RPM, KR, SPEED,etc..) not tonight as we have over 10cm of snow falling right now...:(

Am too fast for ya Dan...LOL. You and Zinner may have found the problem...
I cant wait to log again with just a few PID's, should be interesting.
I will keep you all updated on this.

I understand completely. :lol: I can relate.

When I had my stage 2 flash, and the 2.8, my wideband said low 11's near the 7000 RPM range.

ding ding ding we have a winna!!!

basically IDC is a calculation...when your logging 2 or more injector pulse width sensors the program automatically averages the values together so when 1 of them reads 17.8 & the other reads 0 the program does the calculation (17.8+0)/2 to get the average.

Just remember...everything in tuning is only as good as the data you are giving.

So, what is the optimal safe zone for our cars for lean/rich readings?? Livin in Jersey, the weather is CRAZY and my ride is a daily driver, so I want to make sure I have some leway, but still get some decent numbers.

Wideband readings you mean I assume?

14.4-:15.0:1 at idle & part throttle

11.5-12.2:1 at WOT depending on how much boost your running is about the norm.
