fuel trim rate of change

Post by touge tom »

Hi guys. Im experiencing some wild a/f ratio swing from rich to lean. I was told in a previous post I put up. I should check the rate of change. Could someone please explain what this section does and ckuld it fix the wild a/f ratio swing I have when @ cruising speeds?

I've read it but I doesn't explain what actuall changes. Is it the a/f swing when in between changing gears?

Say if I reduced the rate of change %'s would rapid changes in throttle position equate to a smoother/less a/f ratio swing.

This has nothing to do with throttle position. It has to do with the short term fuel trim values.

i'll re word what i meant.

Say if I reduced the rate of change %'s would rapid changes in engine load /vacuum equate to a smoother/less a/f ratio swing.

It is something you will have to try, what works well for one setup may not work well with another.
