Issues with injector scaling

Hey guys, recently switched to e85, along with a ton of other mods...anyway, got fic 1650 high z and they run stupid rich (-25 stft) until I have them scaled around 1250-1270.

This really shouldnt be right, any reason why it would be doing this? It’s on a SD system so i really doubt a boost leak would be the cause

The FIC 1650 high-Z can be difficult to tune due at idle due to the non-linear characteristics of this design. Here are the settings that worked for me on E85:

E85 Scaling:


Latencies:


Minimum pulse width:


Low pulse width correction:

why wouldnt that be right? Your scaling is for E85 not gas.

The reaaon I feel that something is wrong is because I’ve seen numbers ranging from 950-1170 for the scaling and it took me numbers in the 12s to 1300s to get a stable idle.

Hey guys, turns out it was a leak...and at the most critical piece...the MAP sensor. After correcting several small leaks (egr gasket, TB gasket, and biss screw) I found, it finally revealed itself. Reseated it and it was fine. Idles fine, and afr is stable...albeit I still feel having to scale the injectors so high isn't quite correct compared to others. However, I'll just take it at this point. Thanks for your inputs.

I actually did, at least for what was listed here.

The reason it sputtered and fell on its face? The car was in open loop for some testing purposes and I forgot to set it back to closed. Therefor it went to read the fuel tables (which I had not adjusted for cruise) and went crazy.

What scaling, latencies, linearization, and minmum ipw did you end up using? One of the suggested above?
