Cheers, that's what I thought. Will stick with V111.

Re: It's Alive - Delco 173

Yeah, was hoping it was just a setting change but guess it must be a hardcoded limit. Not a major drama, I just de-twisted the TPS a little by making up a new drive spacer that goes onto the end of the butterfly shaft. This got the voltage range down to 0.3 to 4.2V and the problem is solved. Cheers ...

Re: It's Alive - Delco 173

Thanks festy. Yep, that's definitely the problem. If it just hung around at 100% it would be fine.

Re: It's Alive - Delco 173

Cheers kojab. I mentioned in the post that I have twisted the TPS around so it's no longer in the factory position and uses the upper range of the sensor instead of something around the middle. Took a quick log to show whats happening. It definitely gives 4.98V at full throttle as shown in the item ...

Re: It's Alive - Delco 173

It's still alive! Haven't been doing much tuning lately but have worked on trying to get the throttle body to fit nicely under the bonnet with the TPS at the top. Had to go to a VY V6 throttle body which is smaller and the TPS is mounted closer to the body which helped with bonnet clearance, still w...

Re: It's Alive - Delco 173

Thanks Jayme, I'll not be so concerned with the warm up readings and get on with the good stuff. Holden202, I really only put the MAT sensor underneath the manifold as it's an ugly bugger and I wanted to hide it from view as much as possible. Would the charge temp tables be the place to work on the ...

Re: OSEPlugin for Tunerpro 5 v1.49

If I can, I'd like to make a very small suggestion for your documentation "TunerPro RT Setup using OSEPlugin V140.pdf". As a complete beginner I spent days looking for the "Desired Idle RPM" scalar to do "a good test to demonstrate it is working but without changing anything...

Re: It's Alive - Delco 173

Thanks guys, really appreciate the ideas and definitely enjoying learning how to tune this thing, so many questions arise but the old threads in the realtime forum are a goldmine of info. :thumbup: Concerning the lean warm up, rich at running temp idle condition that I mentioned before I don't think...

Re: It's Alive - Delco 173

Making some slow progress on the VE table without a great deal of data to work with. The throttle response is much better now with most of the hesitation gone but there's still a little bit of work to do and I haven't smoothed it over from the last changes yet. I've noticed a consistent lean idle co...
