Topic: switching to a GM 3 bar, how badly will it throw off my tune
Replies: 3
Views: 6344

The resolution of the 3 bar is by itself fine, I´ve never had any issues with them. There is some nit-picking but nothing serious. For some, the accuracy between sensors isn´t spot on. This is to be expected at these aren´t motorsports parts. So, should you replace your 3-bar with another, seemin...

Don´t forget to look at the possible simple explanations also. Make absolutely sure that all engine/chassis/ECU ground wires are perfect. The old ground wires as well as their respective connections can get rusty, greasy or whatever over time. And you´d be surprised how much voltage drop can be se...

I´m guessing it simply takes a while for the O2 sensor to reach operating temperature. /Allan

Yeeees. Someone has to show the yanks around in Europe so they don´t get lost :) I am now a semi-official Nürburgring Tour Guide. Worked out really well, especially considering the even-more-than-usual chaos last weekend. /Allan

I have found that an overly rich tip-out can be caused by the tune of the vacuum parts of the map that isn´t otherwise used during normal load conditions. However, in the end tip-in and tip-out really is more about how the car feels to drive. /Allan

I use eCtune also on Win7, it seems nice and stable. All I had to do was start it with \"Run as administrator\". That probably goes for the installer as well. /Allan

First things first. You absolutely need to get datalogging working. There is no point in running eCtune (or any other engine management system for that matter) if you can´t see what is going on. /Allan

You want the ECU ground to end at the engine somehow, not the battery - for the sake of not offsetting the voltage measured at various sensors when there is a current draw. Addiitionally.. Engine needs both of the big chassis ground connections to ensure reliable operation. From memory there´s usua...

Ahhh thank u sir! I need to find someone close to check this ecu out to see what its doing and maybe by putting a two step in it will take away the issue I am having? What I am suggesting is in fact the exact opposite. You could have something configured that is causing the problem. Or maybe those ...

Ensure all ground connections are perfect. That goes for the wires themselves (if in doubt replace) as well as where they go. I have solved the weirdest electrical problems this way during the years :) The most interesting one by far was a customer with a car that was seemingly perfect everywhere, y...

Sounds like either issues with the ignition or any condition which would make the ECU impose a lower RPM limit. Like launch control, full throttle shift, maybe a boost cut or something. /Allan
