AFR problem
« on: July 12, 2012, 10:01:31 am »
Hi guys.

I fully rebuild my car. Engine, gearbox, transmissions etc etc.

Before this, the car was good, AFR ratio a little poor (work made in G-lader), so, after I finished the car, I upgraded the fuel pump, and change filter and pressure fuel valve. Even before I made this change, the AFR was already too poor. When I say too poor, I'm refering to values between 30 - 110 AFR! The ECU just can't put the AFR ratio right, it's to much unstable.

I already made all changes I remember, so, I don't know what can I do more.

I already change the next parts:
-Throttle body
-All the injection system
-Fuel pressure valve
-Water temperature sensor
-Air temperature sensor (CO2 potenciometer)
-"ralenti" valve
-Vacuum tubes
-ECU
-ECU cables
-Fuel pump
-Fuel filter

But the ECU still can't put the AFR right..
Any ideas?

Thanks for your attention.

Regards

is the engine standard?  Does it have an aftermarket chip in the ECU?

I don't understand what you mean by "values between 30 - 110 AFR".  Values of what?  Surely you can't mean 30:1 - 110:1 ratios as that's mental, it surely wouldn't even start with such little fuel in it.

Is the AFR ever stable?  Does it stay stable at full-throttle?  Are you aware that at idle it is supposed to fluctuate?  At part throttle it'll move about a bit as the ECU reacts to the readings it's getting from the lambda.

What are you using to determine that the AFR isn't right?

Happens that I found a leak in the exhaust...
Only today.

Anyway, thanks for help.
And I'm using the LM2 device from innovate.
