i have messed with the wot lambda adjustment table and i've noticed that if i went too lean on the afr targets in the full throttle columns, the ecu would stay in closed loop even in full throttle which i don't like. i'd rather leave the ecu in open loop at full throttle and to be honest, if it were up to me, i'd leave it open loop the entire time.

on cars running k-pro i usually leave the ecu in open loop. they also have the same closed loop target lambda tables on the k-manager software, but those also don't work on the k-manager software.
When you tried using the closed loop settings for lean burn, did you set all of the target AFR's lean? I believe Hondata said that it always takes the richest of the group, or something like that.

my very question is how can we control the fuel system in closed-loop?

closed-loop operation is really closed we only have a target AFR parameter with low load/high load crossover vacuum level (and that is ~50kPa as far as the FlashPro Manager helpo file says). we are rather unsure that this hi/lo divided target AFR mechanism does not work properly, instead targeting to 14.7(=closed loop target lambda setting for all loads). for instance, we can not set low load zone for 15.3 (which is trying to lean out the system for low loads). am i correct?

since we do not have much left with target AFR, we can increase/decrease specific zones at the fuel table. say, i am targeting 14.7 in general. but for specific zones of the fuel map i want to be rich (say 13.7), and for some zones i want to be lean (say 15.3). and please note that all of these zones are in low-cam operation, and nearly all in closed loop.

will ECU trim (STFT) the specifically adjusted zones of the fuel map so that it targets 14.7 immediately?

i was happy with gernby's previous easter egg because it was just the feature that i need for the above configuration...

this is a Hondata answer for my closed-loop target lambda thread at Hondata support forum;

For the ECU to change the target lambda from 14.7, all three tables and the overall target must be changed. Just changing the overall target will not have any effect.
i can not say that i understand the above 100%. we have 3 different AFR parameters but two different zones, etc...

I think it means that if you want to achieve a 15.5 AFR at low load and 14.7 at high load, then you need to make all 3 changes below.

yeah i'm pretty sure that's what they meant.

i tried making those 3 changes the same afr and it was only targeting stoich, no matter what the value.

Wow. Did you verify that there was nothing wrong with ECT that might have kept it runnong lower in the table?

the car was fully warmed up. it does not surprise me. hondata has had always had bugs in their software.

All software has bugs.

Definitely true. I'm a software developer for Pepsi, and our bug-fix list is never empty.
