Fuel Cut On Overrun
Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2006 5:56 am
I am lead to believe that most modern fuel inj systems have a fuel cut on overrun algorithm built into the program.
MegaSquirt (as far as I know) doesn't have this facility.
I would like to incorporate this function in the interests of economy.
My thoughts are as follows:
My engine runs with MAP setting from 25 kpa. to 100 kpa and idles around the 30 kpa region.
It only ever dips below 25 Kpa on overrun.
I figure that if I change my bottom row of bins to say 15 Kpa and enter a value of zero into all these bins then that will efectively give me fuel cut on overrun.
Can anyone see any problems with this.
The only one that I can see is that I will be running the map 12 X 11 rather than 12 X 12 due to "wasting" one row of MAP values.
I don't think this will cause undue problems as many ECUs run 8 X 8 anyway.
I think it will simply make my map a little "coarser"
The only other thing that occurs to me is: Do you need fuel on overrun to lubricate the bores?
I figure that if you have no fuel injected then the engine is simply acting as an air pump.
Constructive comments please.
