turbogrill Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Hi, I have NA 1.6 Miata with Speeduino ECU, it's pretty similar to Megasquirt 2. I got a dyno tune before summer and everything was fine. But today when I ran it it was very rich at 10.5-11 @ WOT. I assume after the tune it would run 12-13 AFR. Would could have cause the engine to run rich after sometime, car has mostly been sitting. All the sensors look good, IAT, CLT, MAP, TPS etc. Its just AFR that is out of whack. 1. Battery was stone dead took a little effort to get the car running, the reported voltage when running is 12.8-13v. A little low, but not sure that could affect this. 2. IAT was 135, it was a hot day. Previous runs have been with IAT 120F as hottest. But that shouldn't matter? 3. If the air intake filter is clogged (for some reason), could that cause it? Car also felt slow, but it's a 1.6 so they always feel slow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyKid Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) FPR, return line, new pump? stuck injector, ignition timing. Verify afrs by looking at plugs, might be the wideband itself. Ours would smoke anytime we welded anything on the car.

mender Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Can you verify the AFR separately? Are you running a gauge and if so what brand? Can you read the ECU files and see if they're still the after-dyno tune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will: - Get new plugs and see what they look like after sometime. - make sure FPR and the related vacuum hose looks good. - Verify timing Whats the best way for to verify injectors? Just buy a new set from Motorman for $75? Why would your car smoke when you welded stuff 2 hours ago, mender said: Can you verify the AFR separately? Are you running a gauge and if so what brand?

It has a nice feature where the few seconds after power on it will set a predetermined value. At least that will make sure there are no voltage offset problems. Let me double check the ECU files, but the table looks smooth and nice. After my tuning they looked like crap, the tuner smoothed them out. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbogrill Posted September 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Turned out one of the injectors where bad! It's now 11.9-12.3 or so on WOT so still a little rich but maybe the new injectors flows better than the 32 year old stock injectors... Thanks @mender @LuckyKid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
