I just calculated something that should be Air Fuel Ratio.. Look at the pictures.
As you can see, what I did in step 13 makes it run
very lean above 1000mg of air, that's why I don't reach an IQ of 70 in my logs.

About calculations....I did this: AFR=(Airflow)/(IQ*0,84) because Airflow is mg and IQ is mm3. And 1mm3 of diesel is 0,84mg.
Feel free to correct me ;)
I still feel that this calculation is NOT correct. Because Airflow is measured in mg/pulse and IQ is mm3/stroke.
IF
1stroke=1pulse, then my calculations are right.
But I don't think so...
That pulse thing may be constant or it may be tied to rpm, like 1 pulse every revolution... :?:
But 1 revolution has 2 injection strokes, meaning 1pulse=2strokes.. :?: :?:
MAF units on the map are mg/injection iirc.
If you actually covert the sensor value (kg/hr conversion table) via rpm to the MAF values, then the direct value is correct. Ie, 900 'maf' units is mixed with the IQ of that one injection.
So you get 900mg of air in a cylinder with an Xmm3 injection.
I did a lot of testing/maths on this one, so I log kg/hr and convert via rpm and log the smoke map units on road testing...
Sometimes PP will log MAF over 900, some other cars don't though.
Also, I've recalibrated the smoke map to 1350 on the maf axis in the past and although PP will show readings over 900, and the maf sensor itself is generating enough signal to convert to a kg/hr signal to give a MAF value at that rpm over 900, the ECU doesn't seem to want to actually use the values over 900.
Really easy test, just extend axis to 1000, put an interval at 900, drop all the values from 0-900 to about 30mm3, and then add 60mm3 across the 1000 range.
If the car drives really slow, then it's not reading over 900 :D
That is what I did and there is obviously a limiter somewhere that is stopping it using over 900. I looked around a lot but couldn't find anything so I just went down a different route.
I'd be very interested if anyone also finds that same issue with 900maf+ not being used, and if they have found a work-around.
My only thoughts were that it was maybe in the software section of the ECU data?!
