O2's look fine i think I've been told O2's should "sweep" left to right and back, once at temp and on throttle (not idle). Thats what you'rs are doing Someone else with a more mechanicle background may want to confirm, but thats what tom from PZP told me to look out for when checking so.......
yeah but they seem sluggish, dont seem to move as much as i would expect, also when the foot is down they down flucuate at all, just stay steady which im guessing is making it run rich and thats creating the hole in my pocket.
Hahaha, still need to install the new head unit that runs the sound from the PC through rear aux in which would mean i can play all my mp3s and movies. I was thinking of installing the VDP from pioneer which has its own gyro and accelerometer for lots of cool things like 1/4 mile etc
i could be wrong (anyone wanna help?) But when mine were sluggish they basically didn't respond much at all. Didn't track all the way across. Only to about 1/4 dial Then i got a HUGE nasty flat spot in acceleration when they pretty much died. im now on brand new PZP O2's which are working perfectly. Im still only getting 350k's to a tank (ish). Part of that is my driving style but part is "something else" (probably never had a tune since upgrades were put on would be 1 guess) So dont assume your fuel issue is the O2's.
guess theres only one way to find out? But then again 350ks to a tank is pretty appalling. especially when my car is my work vehicle
same And to be honest i think thats part of the problem. "town" driving. You ALWAYS get less K's to a tank with stop start low speed shit
this one looks interesting, a bit pricey tho http://store.mp3car.com/MP3Car_G4_powered_by_StreetDeck_p/sdk-014.htm
yeah well 2.2g minimum, mine costed me 1/4 of the price and that was the point exactly, sure if you can afford it then go for it. I just couldnt justify that kinda money thats all
Half my job is out on the road seeing clients so it eats into my pocket a bit each week, but i know what you mean. Everytime its gridlock traffic or theres a red light and im low on fuel i freak out. Bloodly spend those few seconds raising the revs to get up to speed and then your stopped a few seconds later.

that blue pc would be too big to fit in the centre console and well im using a liliput screen but it didnt cost me anywhere near $700. Basically if you can justify the cost of the system and it meets both the functionality requirements and space requirements then thats all it needs to do. I needed mine to be as cheap as possible and fit in the centre console, i completed my goal
same. I have 4 offices i have to do the IT for and have to tavel between (90K round trip to the furthest one. If it were open road freeway driving, id confidently say my car would do nearly 450K's... but slow traffic and stopping at lights is what kills it when its a work horse. Just plain fact. If you use a whole tank cruising in 5th gear, OF COURSE you'll travel further than if your tank is used up hardly leaving 3rd gear. Simple maths. Hence why i 'try' and take the wifes car
Your o2s will only fluctuate when in the closed loop area of the fuel map. Outside of this you run a set amount of fuel based on your RPM and TPS and Airflow etc. This is because the O2 sensors are narrow-band (ie only see a narrow section either side of Stoichiometric). Narrow-band O2s are useless outside of light throttle applications. Once you pass out of closed loop into open loop under acceleration, the O2s will likely swing all the way clockwise indicating a richer than stoichiometric mixture, but you'd never know how rich. Under deceleration, particularly above 1500 rpm, your O2s will swing all the way anticlockwise, as there is almost no fuel being injected, and therefore you are lean under those conditions. ECUtalk as you have it set up there is not refreshing the screen fast enough, you may be able to adjust the refresh or reduce the number of gauges showing to obtain a better idea of your O2 sensor functionality, or maybe try data-scan which seems in my experience with my Car PC has better performance at drawing the dials (eg less lag in the gauge response).
oh yeah btw ugame, i got rid of my flat spot with new o2's too Finally did them the other day before the GOR cruise. Only 305 k's to a tank? Sweet jesus
its just resting there for now, i had plans of making a custom perspex case for it but i dunno if i will now. Ive had it like that for months and been using it without any problem
thats pex, that info really helped. Ill try getting a higher refresh rate for ECUtalk otherwise ill use datascan. I have both installed, it was just easier to get ECUtalk to look the way i wanted it to. Thanks again
u left it this long? lol I HATEd drving mine every day when flat spotting. Felt awful. Was happier when i just disconnected the o2's as a temp fix... which resulted in 250k's to a tank haha.... was still better than that flat spot
