Tempesto

I looked back several weeks couldn't find it. Tried a search and got 0

I must have missed it. It's probably on FB, when ever I hit those links it requires me to sign in and I get lazy and just don't . I'll sign in and look again Thanks

I'm still looking for a fully caged track car and I tried to contact them months ago about the G7's they had, no response either phone or website or email. I gave up on them.

Was on my home from the post office, the scenic route naturally when this guy with tires taller than the Birkin ran me down The conversation brief as follows: Him: Hey Sir, What is that thing? Me: A Lotus Seven...........didn't think I needed to explain the whole replica caterham Birkin thing Him: Pretty f*ckin cool.............but we already know that Me: Yep Made my day what is that thing.mp4 what is that thing.mp4 what is that thing.mp4 what is that thing.mp4 what is that thing.mp4 what is that thing.mp4 what is that thing.mp4

It was the first time I had ever tried to log anything so I don't know. My ecu is an older model and I'm using the correct software version for my model, they haven't and probably wont update the software so there could be a new version of Windows issue I'm experiencing. I joined an Emerald group on fb and they hadn't experienced it. I haven't contacted Emerald about the Windows error, I did about another issue and they were helpful but in a very general way.

That's really strange, my Emerald software wont let me data log either, I get a Windows error "Floating Point Division by zero" the program opens and runs but wont log. I can get real time data as well, I'm fairly computer savvy as well but it frustrated me to no end I couldn't find anything from Windows only thing I didn't check was the UK 7's Blat site they have a lot of good information. My try https://usa7s.net/ips/topic/14658-ecu-mapping-and-engine-tuning/ I spoke to Tom as well about my Emerald and he suggested changing over to Delta or something more "popular" with the tuner class

I have a similar issue with my Birkin, I'm running an Emerald ecu and the tuners in my area are the same bless their hearts. As far as ecu choice Emerald is very popular in the UK as I'm sure Delta is. The best piece of advice I got when I asked the same question as you was learn the software and hardware which I did. I learned the basics of adjusting a fuel table and got my car out of it's lean condition and is 100% drivable albeit running rich but I am enjoying my car, I'm just a bit afraid to track it. You can get an ecu that your local tuners will deal with and even a harness, I considered that. Have you checked with Tom Carlin, that's the ecu he installs. Sorry wish I could be of more help.

One Trick Ponies have a limited market, that car will never be able to be made street legal economically and that looses you maybe 50% or more of your market. It's a very nice car and a good price but the only thing that looses value faster than a car is a race car unless of course it has name recognition and history other than that it just a high maintenance used car that's a heck of a lot of fun to drive.

Yeah you did pretty good close enough to work with. I've been dealing with this directly for about 3 weeks off and on. The o2 sensor broke early this year and I tried once to look at the tune software attached to the ecu and decided I didn't know enough I went looking for a professional there isn't one in my area willing to work on my configuration. I was able to configure the new o2 sensor, both were LSU 4.9, and reconfigure the ecu and they are talking and I get live readings. So I still don't know the "tuners lingo", and the key words of what you posted being if you know what you're doing. I know it sounds like whining but logistically everytime I make a change I have to drive a mile of dirt road to get to a paved road to pull the engine though the gears to even try to do some software logging which is now having a problem with Windows and errors out. Your assumption in point 1 is correct I believe, someone advanced the cams that hopefully knew what they were doing.

Thanks, I'll go through it again. To be honest I'm getting tired of flailing around in the dark

took the car and laptop out to try to data log, got an error from emerald Floating Point Division by zero I closed the error window set up logging but it didn't log anything over a 10 mile trip, what did I do wrong.

WOW, Been working on the car most of the morning, after the frost anyway, trying to reconcile everything I've learned and I would have never looked at it and wouldn't have known what I was looking at if you hadn't posted about setting the coolant temp. The "base tune" on my car the one with the cams advanced and all that is set up for open loop because the coolant temp set at 120 like you said, does it come with a default temp. It would have never registered with me Im a farenheight guy and I don't know the trick. So I calibrated the 02 sensor loaded the old "base tune" I've been running for two years I drove it up my dirt road low speed and the car is back to normal I believe so road test tomorrow, too cold today. Is this common to have the tune "forced",don't know how else to describe, on the engine and not let it adjust to conditions?

I'm running a Ford Racing head do you have a recommendation for spark plugs. There are several plugs for the Zetec but most vendors sell according to the vin number that I don't have. I understand it has something to do with reach of the plug into the cylinder but have never been able to find anything definitive for the Ford Racing head. I'm currently running Motorcraft Double Platinums, that's what it came to me with. Thanks again

Ok but what is STFT1. As far as December I just need to know when your here, I can adjust I don't have a schedule

No, that's how I get in trouble, I thought we were talking about the same thing. I see +- change for the fields in AFR corrections table. Seems like a global trigger would be more idiot proof. So simply that would stop any corrections

Ok got it, This is what I was looking at: The ECU determines the target AFR by reading this table. This target is used by the ECU in closed loop and adaptive feedback modes. The target AFR information is displayed on the Live adjustments screen regardless of the feedback mode and can be a helpful mapping aid even if the closed loop or adaptive modes are not used. Control mode Additional controls Plus (+) key - cycle cell contents, open loop→closed loop→adaptive Minus (-) key - cycle cell contents, open loop←closed loop←adaptive The Control mode table has the same speed/load configuration as the main injection table. The feedback mode of each individual cell can be set to open loop, closed loop or adaptive. When set to closed loop or adaptive modes the ECU evaluates the closed loop settings before the feedback mode is changed. If the feedback mode does not change as expected you will find that one or more of the conditions on the closed loop settings has not been met.

Ok I actually understood all of that and it makes sense. So adaptive identifies and makes the live changes as well as storing the values? or it doesn't make the changes just logs the needed change values? That's why my maps are in closed so they don't require any other user input, FYI I found you change mode by shading a cell or group of and hit the + or - keys to scroll through the modes there isn't a simple on or off like I was looking for

Wow I have actually learned something, actually quite a bit. Now I have a question if you still have time. My current maps are set up on closed loop, what would or should change if I change the map to adaptive. What should I expect? Thanks so much for your time and help

I'm just about 45 minutes from St Augustine, depending on the when and the weather my trailer isn't covered. Hey it may even be running and drivable. Where do you go in St Augustine?

No that's actually the problem I have read Emerald K3/K6 v057 cover to cover several times, it hasn't helped. Rereading the manual and your description of load site I get it, in my instance it's using the TPS and RPM with AFR filling the cells but it could be ignition timing in a different table.

The engine developed what sounded like and acted like a lean misfire condition in the rpm midrange. I understood some of what you wrote after "changes?" I'm sorry Yes I have a working WBo2 sensor. So using the Innovate logging software log AFR, load site and rpm to see if the engine/ecu hit the target AFR at any given sector and adjust the afr target up or down to force the actual to meet the target? Your vocabulary is surpassing mine. I can't even find anything that tells me how to turn on adaptive mapping let alone plug in target AFR?? I asked the tuner guy at the shop I visited to assume I know nothing, reading a manual even several times does not make me understand I don't have the background or vocabulary as it applies to draw from. Load site WTH is a load site is that where the axis of say a given RPM and TPS might meet and the corresponding cell contains the target AFR? I wish I knew what to ask.

Oh and any input will be greatly appreciated based on my inexperience with the Emerald. Thanks

That's close. after a day at the track I decided to finally repair the hot wire connection on the starter, while doing this I bumped the "box" that the o2 sensor probe plugs into the plug broke. The manufacturer said is was a design flaw the device was 20 y/o time for a new one so I went from an Innovate Motorsports LC-1 to the new and improved LC-2. The wiring for the new o2 was "simplified" doing away with a couple of ground, wires both o2's were wideband. The Emerald uses a grounding scheme on a couple of it's ports so that opening the switch gives 0 voltage and the ecu reads map 1 and if the switch is closed it reads more that 5 volts and switches to map 3, you can add a third pole and a resistor and the ecu will read that voltage and switch to map 2, sounds complicated but easy once you get it. Somehow it jumped maps to the original startup map for a 1.8 Zetec stocker I found once I learned how to access the ecu and see whats going on and almost understand it. I'm not big on messing with things I don't understand but I had to see. I've rewired the o2 portion of the ecu wiring and everything functions. I did not make changes to the "baseline map" Once I figured out what I believed had happened I set about trying to reverse everything. I did make a copy of the "baseline map" and adjusted the fueling richer according to other mapping I had looked at. But like 1turbofocus says"How will I know" what I have without that yardstick

I have the backup loaded and another map I wrote that's a little richer that the original using the same timing. You have a lot of confidence in my computer skills, even the Emerald manual is a hinderance. the British and us are a people separated by a common language, if you want to program a map you just hit program make changes to your map and when you're done you hit save, correct........NO there is no save feature except to save a map to disc you have to program/make changes to your map then to apply changes to your map you hit "program map" then save your changes to disc. I wasted a lot of time figuring that one out so not too smart. I'm going to recalibrate the o2 sensor this morning, double check my ecu maps and weather permitting get a road test in and see if I still have the midrange lean misfire. Thanks Guys it helps a lot bouncing things around and hearing different ideas. I shouldn't have this sentimental attachment to the little car but it's just a kick in the ass to drive and I want it back, saved my sanity after my wife passed.

The cam timing has been adjusted with the gears so someone must have tuned it on a dyno at sometime in it's life. No, no knock sensor.
