Like I said I figured that would wipe out a LOT of cells. But I understand now.

Here one day I will send you some new injectors and let you start over lol.

No rush on the injectors.

Hmmm...so here's a question:
Since my voltage bounces around when my efans engage (mostly when its real hot and both fans come on and especially when the lites are on), dropping maybe 1-2volts, can this app correct that OR will it adjust the duty cycle on the injectors to try and accommodate it?
maybe a dumb question, but I know next to nothing about tuning...just chasing gremlins!

It won't help with your voltage drop... however if you have EFI Live you can delay the fans starts so they don't come on at the same time. If that does not fix it look into a higher amp alternator, have your battery tested, increase the wiring size on your efan harness or look into the big 3 wiring upgrade...

Done all of the above...cut down on the drop and volatility a ton, just wondered what effect it was having on my spark. Been debating buying EFI and tuning myself, but honestly gotta find the time to learn it...

nice work corey. maybe we can get together and do this for the hp tuners guys. its mostly just the efi tables are backwards from hp tuners, and we have different terminology. so, it shouldnt be too difficult.

It's not as bad as it looks. Quite simple really you just have to know what your looking at.

Nice write up.

man, I got lost after about 2 minutes.

Right now I am running a bone *** stock 2002 LQ4 tune. How much do you guys think I will gain with a tune? I really need to pick up highway cruising power.

Depends on how good you can tune
