Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Took a run with the tune and watched some aerofroce parameters...

Everything seems alright driving around, it runs about 20* timing advance at/near wot... Longterm Trim B1 (which I assume is LTFT) went around -2 to -3.5 at/near wot.

Something I dont quite understand is negetive and positive in ltft cause some places I see people talking about positive and some places I see negetive... but anyway that's what my aeroforce was displaying, 0 KR the whole time.

Something that made me say 'wtf' was, after I let off the gas on my wot run, I was cruising about 70mph with little throttle, and my ltft went wayyy up to -23.4, I thought it couldnt go higher than 16.4? Does negetive mean something different? This is what I mean about the confusion on negetive vs positive fuel trims.

Also, everyone says we dont have oil pressure available without an aftermarket sensor.. but I turned on Oil pressure as a parameter and it came up at 53 after I had been driving for a few minutes and was holding very steady through a lot of stop and go in traffic... then as the car warmed up it went to 52 and held, then later 51... never got below 51. I know the aeroforce will just continue to display the info from the parameter that was previously showing if the current one has no input.. so what's the deal there? Is that a true reading?
 


Aero cant read oil pressure. Unless it has the sensor for it, that you can buy.

Real oil pressure will go up and down alot with throttle and stop and go.

LTFT shows what kind of adjustment or "trimming" the PCM is making. When the numbers are positive that means the PCM is adding "+" fuel and when the LTFT are negative the PCM is taking away fuel. (-)
So right after you went WOT and took your foot off the pedal you didn't need all that fuel anymore so the PCM pulled a bunch which gave you your -23.4
 
Ok, that makes some sense... so when it's say going between -5 and -10 under normal driving conditions... you say it's taking away fuel, but like... What is it subracting fuel from? Like how much the injectors are spraying each cycle? what does the condition of zero represent? and what units is that measured in? -23.4... what?

Also, how does LTFT differ from Short Term Fuel Trim?

Sorry Im full of questions trying to figure this out, lol.

Yes any time your LTFT show negative the PCM is taking fuel away(telling the injectors to spray less), you can scan your IPW's(injector pulse width) to see what the injectors are doing.
-23.4 is what you said your LTFT's read after you lifted from WOT so why are you asking -23.4...what?
You can't remember what you wrote...or what? LOL
 


No, I just mean... 23.4 is an amount, what is the units the amount is measured in... like when you say timing is 20... it's twenty degrees, not just 20.

like -23.4 lbs/minute or whatever the rate injectors are rated at?

It's a percentage of fuel thats being taken away or added.
 
And as my final question for the night... what would zero be since nothing is being taken away or added? Like what is the starting point to add or subract from?

I think I remember reading somewhere that zero is ideal at wot... and Im not 100% sure but before I got my tune my ltft's were always in the positive, now they're always negetive...

Ok Im done now :D

Between -5 and + 5 on the LTFT's is a good place to be and locking in at zero during WOT is ideal.Zero means just that, zero fuel is being taken away or added at that time, remember the PCM makes these changes based on the tune and the values the o2 sensor is reading. Alot of "canned" tunes will err on the rich side for safety,which may be why you've seen the slightly negative LTFT's since the tune. An in car street tune is best for getting the tune dialed in perfectly to suit "your" car.
