CTR L.Trim extremely rich
Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2022 10:34 pm
Tl;dr -> Fuel trims are super rich. The hotter it gets outside, the richer the L.trim gets in the long term. Live at sea level, trying to get car to be holding stoichiometric because it seems to be struggling.
So I've been kind of dealing with this issue for a while. I've checked vacuum lines in where I'd think anything could have changed (that i've touched), it *could* technically be the MAF but i'm not so sure since it was happening also before removing and reinstalling it. Datalogs from colder months still show richness, but not as severe, start at -2% go to like -7% tops (the 12-4-21 is before intake install, having never touched any lines before that, 1-2-22 and beyond is post intake). I have the AFM correction for eventuri loaded onto the current tune. Nowadays its getting hotter, as you can see with the temps per datalog, and now my L.trims are starting at -8% and going to -14%, super duper rich.
Never modified these tunes on my own, but been studying up because I was planning on trying to refine the basemap tune for my specific car. That being said, I'm fully ready to accept the consequences with some mild direction. What troubleshooting can I do here, or what steps can I perform to correct the AFM/Fuel Trims.
One big question I have is, do I need a winter/summer tune? If I perform these corrections and get the car at atmospheric during summer, will the fuel trim be leaning out during winter and vice versa?
Tune: 93 w/improved throttle response, eventuri intake.
