I have installed a new dual plane and 1000cfm on my 355 and while trying to get it to idle right, I can see the VE all of a sudden climbs up from the idle valid of approx 40 up to 80-90, while it does this it slowly dies as it leans right out.
The car is sitting there in park, idling around 1200-1300. What would cause the VE to rise like that?
What calculations affect the VE.

Re: What calculations affect the VE.
VE is a measure of how filled the cylinder is, in a table with the axis of MAP and RPM. Are you saying MAP is changing as it warms up, or RPM to use a different VE call on the VE table or something else?
Have you read the FAQ? For lots of information and links to significant threads see here: http://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1396
Re: What calculations affect the VE.
VE comes directly from a lookup table with axes of MAP and RPM that you need to calibrate to match the efficiency of your motor.

Re: What calculations affect the VE.
Sounds like as the engine is stalling the MAP value is going up due to the reduced RPM causing it to move to a different VE cell
Re: What calculations affect the VE.
Yeah I think the car may be starting to stall for some reason first. Then the VE looks like it goes up. I’ll grab the log and see whether it shows anything. I can’t remember if it was logging.pman92 wrote:Sounds like as the engine is stalling the MAP value is going up due to the reduced RPM causing it to move to a different VE cell

Re: What calculations affect the VE.
Post a log so we can have a look.
Re: What calculations affect the VE.
i THINK this issue was caused by my MAP signal being too one-cylinder-dependant.
i moved the signal line from a single cylinder to under the throttle body.
i'll see how that goes.
