Hi guys, i am wondering what is a ideal AFR for a D16Z6 at idle? I am running a temporary basemap right now and i noticed at idle my wide band goes off the scale lean, while this is good for fuel economy it makes a anoying random pop out my tail pipe, i moved the AFR from off the scale to around 15.5 and the pop has all but gone away, i was wondering if its ideal to richen the idle up even more?

 

If you richen it too much you would have bad fuel mileage and lots of burning fuel and i believe the 02 sensor code will throw a code.

did your stupid response answer the question at all? no. it didn't.

You can lean em out pretty good at idle, theres no load on the motor. Just tune it so its reasonably driveable and not popping all over town. also, what kind of exhaust do you have? if its pretty unmuffled that might be a big reason of why you're getting some popping sounds as well.

 

it all has to do w/ timing good luck, achieving nirvana. LOL

 

14.7

 

14.7:1 stoichiometric.....ideal afr

 

Hahahaha...Mine runs rich all the time.

 

rich is better than lean in my book....after all lean is mean, but lean for too long and say goodbye to a piston or two.....

 

detonation almost NEVER happens at idle, theres no load on the motor, so why give it more fuel then it needs?

 

Oh sweet god, other then Kip I see many a Need for Speed trained tuner in here

reeding iz harrd. learnding even harrderr!!

put a wideband on any stock car with a stock ecu, you'll see how lean it gets at idle. No load = min. cyl. pressure = no need for fuel.

 

Mine idle's great around 15.7. A/F at idle and A/F under a load are two different things.

hey just becasue i know what his afr should be at idle doesnt mean i play NFS... thats quite ignorant!!! i play PGR 7,014 *** hat!

yea, this coming from the guy that told me i got jdm pwned cause some poser stole a pic of a rhd interior on a crx. ***. and 14:7 is NOT what your afr should be at idle. but you go ahead you master of the dyno, you wizard of the fuel map, why not make it 11.0 everywhere for max power!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?

lol my afr at idle is 15.6-16.1 when warmed up and 14.5-15.0-1 when cold according to my innovate lc1 but this is on a zc with pm6

 

a little richer when cold is nothing out of the ordinary

 

yea i know if it was the same when cold and hot i would be worried. my wideband has been acting wierd lately after 5500rpms it leans out off the scale but under that it works great. any ideas
