Re: Daily WTF

Yeah, you'll do as you please in the lounge or anywhere else. And I didn't put the link because it took less time to find the thread in question that it took to write this sentence and the fact I don't see any use in having MS discussed here especially with your attitude towards it and the people in...

Re: Daily WTF

Boy, for someone who wants to eliminate everything MS from his life you sure waste a lot of energy posting and debating about them and trying to find issues where there's none. If that is what I think it is, it's called forum maintenance. There's an 11 page thread on the PID correction subject with ...

Re: Feature request - Trigger auto discovery.

The feasibility of this also depends if it is discovery of known patterns or establishing the pattern from the trigger input. In the last case, I don't see how you could do anything other than using even teeth with some missing teeth. And in the first case, if your pattern is not in the ECU the feat...

Re: Reasons To Cut Injection/Ignition With Hysteresis

If there is a bug that causes a wrong value I want to see it in a datalog or some other way but not through an unwanted side effect that could actually cripple an engine under the right circumstances and where you could maybe just limp home with switching off some safety measure but get stranded ot...

Re: Reasons To Cut Injection/Ignition With Hysteresis

Please move the offending posts to a new thread in order to keep this one clean. But my statement about having switches for features was for injection and ignition cut. If I want either or none, I want to be able to do so without going through the code that performs the cut because I don't want to h...

Re: Reasons To Cut Injection/Ignition With Hysteresis

Also, I believe that every strategy should be able to be turned on and off ( not pseudo off by setting high or low values ). This method has proved much easier in diagnosis of issues/bugs etc in my software. I like this too. This is a personal taste thing. And a basic common sense thing too. I don'...

Re: Reasons To Cut Injection/Ignition With Hysteresis

If you run out of injector capacity under boost you'd prefer not to keep hitting the fuel cut and keep the lean condition. So an increasing fuel cut period would likely help and not cripple the engine. And you're right that you wouldn't want that with the rev limiter and you also wouldn't want this ...

Re: Reasons To Cut Injection/Ignition With Hysteresis

Good point that you can't stop fueling for a full cycle for a specific cylinder if you don't know where the full cycle starts for that specific cylinder which is the case for anything other than full sequential. And I agree that it shouldn't stop you from doing what you can even if there will be one...

Re: Reasons To Cut Injection/Ignition With Hysteresis

There are two issues, heat is one, detonation is the other. In any case, with the two latter cases (large paragraphs) you can't be sure exactly where you'll end up (AFR wise), and therefore it could be in a bad place. Hence I believe such circumstances warrant a cut. Some oems do an AFM based cut i...
