I cant tune worth a crap. I did pay Justin (blackbear) for lifetime tuning though so I'll probably just have him do it, although I'm sure live tune would be much better. I've been having some serious KR issues supposedly secondary to an air leak, and I've got new intake manifold gaskets ready but havent had a chance to put them in since my window got bashed in. I did put in a new TB gasket with no luck.

Hey, was wanting some help getting my tune sorted out. I've been doing the autoVE and got the fueling decent. Im having issues keeping the AFR steady at WOT though. I emailed Justin the logs and he seems to think my LC-1 is reading leaner than actual AFR because I have so many cells over 100%. But I think I'm just not hitting those cells when Im logging because I started off with a stock LQ4 tune plus 12.5% added to the VE table. How are you hitting so many 4000+ cells with 90+ MAP? Are you driving part throttle in 1st gear? For some reason my trans automatically shifts out of 1st gear even with the selector in 1st 
. Is there anything I can do in the tune to prevent the trans shifting 1-2 at part throttle?

What injectors are you running that you are tuning the Injector Offset table, every set of injectors has a GIVEN table for offset and there are other ways to tune for what you are describing. Injector values are ment to be set and left alone. If your injector values are correct then you shouldn't have to change them when tuning.

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!

Idle> Idle Airflow> Cooling fan airflow.
To determine what amount of air you need to add you do a log logging base running airflow and monitor the airflow values when your fans kick on. If the airflow demand goes up .5 g/sec then that is what you add into the Cooling fan Airflow tap. By doing this it keeps your RPM from droping when the additional load is placed on the Alt. Thus keeping your voltage more consistant. All of this can be done for the AC as well.

Are you talking to me? If so i agree once the injectors are set they should be left alone, IMO they need to be adjusted for a given truck/car correctly first. We can argue back and forth on the way i adjusted them, but before i adjusted the IPW table I would get swings in my trims and wideband at various battery voltages, after tuning them the way i did my trims and wideband readings are more stable than before....

I dont doubt it helped, however it doesnt mean it was the original cause of the fueling inconsistancies. Not trying to be arguementive here just adding to the conversation. Lets face it, I can jack up my VE table then tune it out with my injector settings. Would it work? Ya however it takes a known constant and alters it. What injectors do you have?
I know exactly what your saying, some injector settings are constants, some can be fine-tuned for a specific application.... flow rate being a constant, Injector Pulse width IMO are tunable...
If you have a better solution please elaborate...

Btw, I am not trying to argue either, just simply stating what I did and what works for me. Like I mentioined up top everyone does things differently, some touch more tables than others and for good reason. Every truck/car is different and different combinations of parts do different things.
