FITECH EFI TUNING tips, info sharing, ideas, settings, etc...

I ll start!! Installed last August.

ENGINE SIZE: 318 30 over
FITECH SETUP USED:Go 4 Power adder, FCC for fuel supply.
ENGINE VACUUM: 15 inches at idle
CAM SETTING (1,2,3, or 4) AND YOUR CAM SPECS: 2 212/218 duraction at 50
IAC COUNTS @ idle and cruise 7 at idle, cruise.. will add later
TIMING CONTROL: Y/N? Yes, with MSD 6AL, using Mopar performance distributor , Mallory style guts. Base 14, Idle 21 degrees, cruise 39, WOT 33.9 degrees
IDLE RPM: 840
TARGET IDLE AFR: 13.55
ANY ADJUSTED PARAMETERS AND WHY?: where to start.... Upped all accel parameters, regular and fast accel, to get rid of lean spikes . DFCO cutout and return moved down to almost 20 and 24 respectively, ( to reduce decel backfiring through the pipes), Loop up and down at 33 each, ( to aid in quick return to idle) FCC low power reduced to 38.6 %( runs much cooler now).

Had issues with my o2 sensor wiring, self inflicted.. set wires up to tight to the firewall, damaging some lines ( seems better now that I got some slack at the throttle body--- we will see ) If o2 sensor wiring affected it will throw code 105 and 134. 105 fault will display until sensor is hot BTW) Replacement sensor Bosch 17014, if you need.

Update: Changed dfco cutout and return to 32 and 35 respectively.. Got some advice from a guy on the Chevelle forum ( fitech info). The decel backfiring in the exhaust is from having too much fuel when backing off the throttle.. seems to have worked well. It now cuts the fuel out earlier.

Took the side of the throttle body off last night to check my o2 sensor wiring, yes, was still having some fault codes 134 and 105. Checked continuity of the 5 wires in that harness and Could not find any visual issue.

The wires that exit out the back,travel along where the red line is, a channel on the throttle body. They were bunched downward close to the linkage as shown in the red circle and i "think" under hard throttle the linkage may have been pulling the wires a bit. I didn't find any cuts or anything but who knows? Seems the wire was very close to part of the throttle linkage, so i repositioned it. Will see if that fixes the glitch.. Undid the four bolts holding the ecu in place on the front and moved the plate out a 1/4 inch, but there is no way I will be able to take it right apart. If my o2 sensor keeps throwing the code, it will have to get sent back to California for them to check. :( That will have to wait until winter.

Also adjusted the secondary linkage a wee bit, as the secondary's were not moving at the exact time the primary were.

It will go back on tomorrow and see if I put it back together correctly LOL
