help nailing down injector dead time(scope pics)
Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2008 8:45 pm
im having trouble finding the right opening time for my injectors(summit racing 42#injectors, 12.8 ohm, they appear to be made by lucas). doing the cahnge from 2 to 4 squirts isn't working at idle because the injectors never fully open on 4 squirts. i have an idle pw around 1.8 - 2.2 ms and cruise 1.7 -2.5 at 4 squirts, after a full year at running 4 squirt and testing the other day i switched to 2 and need to retune.
the injector dead time to volts is off(volt changes affect afr)
when i first installed about a year ago i went into injector test mode and set it to .9ms and got nothing out of them, 1.0ms would get the tip wet and 1.1 would make a small spray this was at battery voltage @12.2, but since then i got a silly scope and took a few pics for you to look at.
i used a .1 ohm resistor for amplitude(voltage topped out at .1volt). i also notice at idle at 4 squirts the current never peaked. test was done @14.3v
im having a hard time interpreting the dead time either .7, .89, .936 or 1.127 not too sure where to take time readings.
