does anyone know anything about setting up injector lag, beyond just inputing the numbers from the manufacturer?
i've been mapping the car but having problems getting a good idle and mpg and the problem seems to be injector lag. i get the car setup ok, it drives ok, afr at idle 14.7 within a few points with no o2 sensor feedback. if i increase the lag a half point eg 0.18ms to 0.24ms my afr's go rich, remap the car and the car drives and idles better. i'm up to +0.28ms so far with the manufacturer saying it should be +0.19ms and the car is a lot better.
does anyone know what the professionals do to setup injector lag?
i'm thinking what's happening is the injector is being opened too late by the ecu because the setting is too low, thus spraying the back of the valve as it closes. this pool at the back of the valve doesn't burn on this ignition nor on the next, it's just wasted fuel (bad economy). the wideband doesn't pick this up because it cant sense unburnt fuel, spray the sensor with petrol and it doesn't read rich. so, the lag is made greater and the injector fires earlier, this time it gets more atomised fuel ito the chamber for the combustion and my afr's go up, readjust the injector duty and the whole thing is timed a lot better so the car runs better.
does this sound ok?
i'm wondering if this should be repeated until the lag adjustment causes it to go leaner rather than richer. seems logical to me.
any input would be greatfully accepted, unless it's lies
