205 GTI 8v ITBS Megasquirt map

[fedenl 0]

Hello boys, 

 

I recently had my ECU programmed and i have an issue when i get to the 1500 RPM zone. The car stalls as I open the throttle slowly from start, but I can drive normally if i accelerate, before releasing the clutch.

 

I´m attaching my tune file for help and opinion. Everything is welcome.

 

Just for information, the car has ITBS, DB6 1.9 8v engine, and a very soft cam.

 

THANKS!!

Quite what you expect anyone to tell you from the map numbers I've no idea.

 

You'd need as a start to identify the cells the map is using when you have the problem, and then what a wideband lambda is reading when it happens.

 

It sounds to me like the map is possibly too lean at that point and acceleration enrichment is masking that.

I'd suggest the numbers circled need to be bigger. The scale of the butterfly opening is logarithmic. Thus a lot happens in the 2%, 4% and 8% cells. For your info, I normally use 1, 3, 7, 15 and 30%. So you've actually got plenty of scale in there. I'd start by upping those three cells up 2 units each. Maybe even 3, 2 and 2? So as soon as the throttle is cracked is gets some fuel. Does it have a throttle pump map?
