First off.....if you are getting mileage that low with this engine in a type 3....your MPS is out of adjustment or you have vacuum leaks or both.

2nd.....if the wire you have disconnected on your MPS is half of the zig zag,strip.....you have the wrong wire disconnected.
Do not just disconnect the one I may have quoted 6-8 posts back.....look at the pin out and look at my write up.....and follow the circuit trace...... Laughing ...i got in trouble that way to many years back. Even across 2-3 versions of the exact same part...they have several numbers stamped/molded into the TVS.
The positiions of WHAT a pin goes to on a TVS never changes.....but the numbers might for different vehicles across different time periods. In the end....the numbers are irrelevant.

No that is the same TPS design as my write up....and is one of the same TPS part #. I have all of them....both NOS and used.

This is the hardest thing to relate to people to get them to understand......how the floating switch of the TPS is actually working.

Its simply designed as tolerance in the throttle shaft bushing. Why?
Because you do not want to start adding excess fuel until....
A. The throttle is cracked open even a smidgeon so you air to go with that fuel and
B. So you also are probably getting vacuum advance transition.

And this is the important part:

But.....you do not want lag....meaning ....if the throttle starts moving....and you are not ALMOST instantly getting extra fuel.....within a degree or two of movement....from the TVS...you will get a flat spot.......AND......this effect....will cause you to adjust the MPS incorrectly.......to give you that fuel you need for getting off the line....from another source.

And......that incorrect MPS adjustment is what is giving you the rich runnijg snd po9r fuel mileage.

The slack/slop built into the TVS is in two parts. About half is in the main hub that mounts to the throttle shaft and half is in the fork of the switch.

This slack allows the forked switch of a properly adjusted TVS......to bias toward closed when the throttle is closed.....and toward open when the throttle is in forward motion.

THE PROBLEM IS THIS:
Many...if not MOST.....TVS.....have just about the exact amount of 2° movement between ofc and on at the fork switch.........BUT....they have more than 2° at the main throttle shaft mounting hub.....so when properly adjusted....they get out of sync by a degree or so......so the bias or float of the forked switch becomes uncertain.

This is why the books all state.....if once you adjust....the reading is not perfect on the volt meter.....turn the adjusting plate one more grad toward open to bias the switch float more toward open to account for lag.

BUT....BUT.....in many cases that is BAD ADVICE.....BECAUSE......each grad on the plate is 2°.....and the amount of slop you are accounting for may actually be only 1°....or may be 3°....or may be already biased to far toward open and it may be toward closed that you need to adjust to (that last one is rare but it happens).

The key is that when the throttle is closed and you adjust the plate position......you MUST then check...and you will need a magnifying glass to do so....the actual position of the exact tip of the wiper arm ....on the circuit board.

Why is this so important?

Understand this...that if the donut shaped bead or contact tip of the wiper arm is on the center of say.....the very first cross hatch contact on one of the two enrichment wiper strips when the throttle is fully closed.....instead of in either the correct parking position on the circuit board (on some tvs)....or on the gap between the first and second contact marks of the two wiper strips........then.....when the throttle starts moving toward open.....it will be 2° of movement before the forked switch makes contact.
During that 2° movement.....the contact tip of the wiper arm is moving off of the first contact. At this point you are getting no enrichment because the forked switch has not yet closed.
2° later....when the forked switch has jow closed....the wiper arm tip is now actually in the dead area between the two strip contacts on the board....and it will be another 1° to 2° of throttle movement before it contacts the next one....so you get a dead spot.

I will look at my write up and if needed .....post an extra picture of which track....regardless of number...is the fuel overrun shut off wire. Ray

Ok, I think iM getting the big picture a bit better, reading this:
"THE PROBLEM IS THIS:
Many...if not MOST.....TVS.....have just about the exact amount of 2° movement between ofc and on at the fork switch.........BUT....they have more than 2° at the main throttle shaft mounting hub.....so when properly adjusted....they get out of sync by a degree or so......so the bias or float of the forked switch becomes uncertain. "
sitting there staring at the TPS on the bench in front of me, with the play in the switch section, and the mount hub, wondering if the 2deg was for BOTH or just one? Brain jamb! So I want the enrichment to hit the first rung of the cross hatch about 2 degrees after the throttle is cracked open... correct? or 2 degrees after that forked switch makes contact in the forward direction?

YES, Im running WAY rich at small throttle openings, 10's and 11's AFR and when im driving stuck in traffic and slow speeds that kills the gas mileage.
But my Quandry is: Ive adjusted the MPS to just Kiss 14 on the highway (and in town for that matter) at its leanest point (about 1/3 throttle), so on the highway and even on secondary roads if I can move along and keep on the throttle enough the mixture is at least in the 12's and I get 22MPG under these conditions, about what I would expect.

So I cant go any leaner with the MPS, Ive looked for another way to lean out the slight throttle richness and so far haven't had good luck but I need to get this TPS right cause as you say, it has an effect too. Im so rich off the line
it runs well even without the TPS!

Please post that diagram, I also need to verify which wire on the harness is not connected to the TPS, I thought it was the end one but maybe not... this is a stock harness and one of those 5 wires went nowhere.

Thanks Ray,

Keith

well with most of the oil leaks taken care of, at least for now I removed the TPS and gave it some attention. The wires are going to the appropriate terminals, ground is ground and the disconnected one is indeed the full throttle enrichment. With that sorted out I tightened up the play between the inner hub and switch assy with some thing shims, I didn't want to sleeve the contacts as the spring contact is very close to it already and it would not have been able to disconnect had I done that.

First adjustment I tried was with the enrichment contact ready to touch the first of the cross hatch when the throttle is opened (with 2 degree or so of play) WIth it this way the bucking was worse, less drivability and then something you said made me try something else, you stated that if the TPS is not adjusted properly you need to get the quick enrichment from somewhere else and then that adjustment (MPS) will be too rich. Well,
my MPS IS way too rich off idle, and unfortunately I cant lean it out anymore
without making the third throttle area too lean, SO... with that in mind, I set the TPS to get the idle wiper to the idle pad as soon as possible, so under
small throttle openings it would park on the idle pad and prevent excessive enrichment as the ECU would think its time to idle.

This helped drivability, much less bucking! It still has an over-rich light throttle area, lean 1/3 throttle area but no hesitation off the line. Its not bad this way but I still suspect the in town gas mileage will be crap. I know this isn't the way its supposed to be adjusted but given the vacuum sig I have, and the limitations I seem to be running into its a best case scenerio for drivability.

Another observation I have is that this is an 037 ECU which takes the 1200 ohm head temp sensor. I have a 2500 or so sensor on it and a shunt, so cold its about 2K and even with that its warmup curve is quite lean, and in town under light throttle that is pretty good, and as it warmps up fully (takes some time) it slowly gets richer to the setpoint I have it (14AFR or less on the highway). Kinda curious why its so lean on warmup with that sensor so high in resistance?

Lastly, I have the Dcel valve disconnected, as I DONT want it any richer under small throttle openings that it is and I can do anything I want with the inner stop etc and I NEVER see lean spikes under light throttle/high vacuum. Is it OK to leave this out? or am I not thinking of another benefit of having it in there?

THanks

The deceleration valve should not be an issue at small throttle settings...if its adjusted right....and that also means IF it can be adjusted right.

Is this the manual/vacuum decel valve or the electronic one?

The cylinder head temperature sensor:

As it warms up...it GETS LEANER. As the temperature of the CHT rises...the resistance drops. As the resistance drops...it leans the mixture out....always.

If this is not happening...your problem is elsewhere. Most probably the MPS.

Typically if its lean at warmup and your CHT is still high in ohms.....its because the engine is tight and vacuum is high....causing maximum vacuum on the MPS...which equals no load enrichment.

If as the engine warms up...your vacuum is dropping....your MPS can then start richening up.

This loosening and losing vacuum SHOULD NOT be a function of engine heating up and expanding.

The engine goes from tight at stone cold to very quickly...like a minute or so..just warm enough that its losing a little compression because case, pistons and cylinders are all different material...to getting higher compression and higher vacuum as it warms up and expands within a couple of minutes.

Typically starting to lose vacuum as the car warms up is a function of vacuum leaks opening up with vibration and heat at gasketed surfaces like oil breather, head gasket, plate behind the plenum etc....or the MPS...or pushrod tube seals....or injector o-rings.

Also...if you have an overly rich scenario off the line...that is typically the outer full load stop.

I warned you before. Quit using the wide band. The readings with D-jet do not correlate well or normally.....especially with the stock exhaust.

Do not worry so much about the "third throttle opening" settings. Tune for driveability...then make a tweak here or there. The readings you get wit ha wide band with D-jet...do not reflect reality unless you have equal length pipes and are reading at a collector with a 4 into 1.

This is because of the paired injection system.

D-jet typically MUST run lean at idle. The TVS enrichment and the outer full load stop combined are the corrective mechanism for this. This is so that when you adjust the MPS properly...remembering that its a spring pressure loaded part.....its spring balance/sensitivity will allow it to NOT run lean at part throttle.

The whole point if its adjustment is to not be excessively sensitive at part throttle. It has enough capacity...that if you romp on it anywhere....it will give you enough fuel.

But..when cruising at high speed and small part throttle...it WILL run lean. As long as its not pinging or overheating...thats not a problem. There is a difference in very lean cruise and accelerating under load. Ray

Yes, Mechanical Dcel valve that is adjustable, but I haven't touched that adjustment. This engine is tight, new, only a couple thousand miles on it.

Well your certainly not the first person to tell me not to look at my gauges,
Im kinda OCD with the AFR meter as this engine has always run hot oil temps on the highway, although now I have a cooler on it and those temps are capped and no longer a problem. Heads have always run cool, 235 - 285 on the highway depending on load IF I believe that sensor, its a thermocouple I have held against the head over #1 spark plug with a spring loaded ceramic doohickey I put on there, but when accelerating from a light the heads seem to cool awfully quickly making me think that the cooling air may be cooling the sensor faster than the head, how quickly DO the heads cool when RPM goes up?

Anywho, being in a square I can run with the lid open and its easy to hear if there were any pinging and last summer I ran for a bit with the AFR in the 14's and heard none.

Gas mileage on the highway seems what Id expect, 22mpg, does that seem rich? around town its 15 - 16 rich! and Id expect 17... what do you expect Id get with a 2056 in town in a Square?

SO, you recommend I put tape over the wideband meter, lean up the MPS so long as it runs smooth and doesn't detonate, and not worry where that lean spot ends up. its NEVER had a lean spot at small part throttle, at least with the way Ive had it adjusted so far, only lean at that third throttle area then richening up again nicely when I really get into the throttle.

ONE thing I still have a bit of a problem with that makes me think it may be too lean is when its in its lean areas is that intermittent missing, this is MUCH better with the trigger contacts advanced as much as I could get them, perhaps I passed the sweet spot and can back that off a bit and make it better... I still need to try that.

I just get OCD over high AFR's.... Ill stick some tape over that gauge and try leaner!

well the roads are salted up and the car is away for the season. It was running decently but rich around town. The biggest aspect for me with this tuning process is what to expect. For the last 200Kmi or so Ive run a stock engine, and in the past few years a tired one, so even if the 2056 were running on 3 cylinders it would feel powerful to me! Very Happy The Stock motor only got low 20's in town for gas mileage, less than that when the weather got cold, but yea... it was on the rich side too.

So with the wide band taped over, I can lean it up and it should run well with the exception of the missing I get during that part throttle lean spell, but hopefully with more careful adjustment of the trigger points I can eliminate that, when going more advanced with that it got a lot better, I may be too far now though.

So assuming I can get a nice smooth response from it, and better in town gas mileage, when I untape the AFR gauge what lean or rich spikes should worry me? I know about the very lean issue under light cruising throttle that I have not yet experienced, but perhaps will when things are leaned out overall but what other Yellow or Red flags should I watch out for?

I can monitor oil temp quite accurately, and head temps at least to some point. and One thing that I noticed last summer that I didn't mention so far was on one highway trip traffic was moving along well and I brought the cruise speed up to 75 or so, about 7 or 8 MPH higher than usual and it ran
a good 10 degree's cooler that way, what RPM does the T4 cooling fan top out CFM at?

Yes...for example a stock 1.7 in excellent tune got about 23 mpg on good gas. A 2.0L 914...about 20-21.

Now...with aftermarket tuning..better compression...better ignition...better exhaust....25 mpg on any of them is not uncommon.

The problem is that the system parts that enrich....the baseline sensors...the TVS and the MPS...are rather low resolution. While they are sensitive...the system...the ECU is low resolution in its computing power.

The issue with trying to tune a low resolution system with a high resolution gauge...is that the gauge is giving you a readout with excessive information about an output (the exhaust content)....at a rate of change that is both faster than the system reacts and slower than what is happening in real time.

Let me explain that better.....

Lets say you broke it down and graphed one second of run time at 3000 rpm. Thats 50 revs per second...with at least two complete combustion and two exhaust cycles per rev. Thats a lot happening on each second...right?...so you are thinking that the high resolution of your AF meter would be ideal right?

Yes but...

Because your exhaust system may or may not be exact equal length and the chamber in which you are reading is a mix of turbulent gases from all four pistons.... that are downstream and after the fact of combustion....what you are reading now...is after the fact and may not be indicative of what is really happening....and its not a direct reading of any one thing.

And...in this imperfect engine...each cylinder is not exactly the same as the other....so what you are "sniffing"...may not be the best overall indicator of what the mixture is on average.

This can be said of every engine...even modern ones...but modern computers sniff their own gasses...have software buffering...and filtering...and create their own "average" response. Add to that systems like my Golf has...that tune the output of each coli for specific spark response and advance...and the chaos the wide band reads....is filtered and averaged....for a generally correct fuel response.

D-jet does not have any of that.

And...back to the 'per second" happenings....you may have 50 revs per second at 3000 rpm...but D-jet is not making fuel changes that fast. It operates at a maximum of about 30-36 injections per second....and even less fuel changes per second....see this? This is why D-jet runs out of the ability to increase fuel beyond about 5800 rpm. It outruns its cyclic ability to operate.

So the D-jet system really only makes separate fueling changes...at a maximum rate of about 1 to 1.4. One change for every 1.4 revs. Thats at maximum revs.

And this is only about maximum mechanical and electrical ability to inject. The limited change baseline sensors that amount to about 5-15% of fuel between them....TS-1 and 2...and then You add in a totally uncontrolled by the ECU enrichment device...the TVS....which triggers the injections of one pair of injectors for every 2* of forward throttle plate movement....which creates momentary rich spots....and you can get some odd readings at transitional changes.

So if you graphed those 50 revs on a long stretched out one second graph....and then overlaid the graph of the wide band sniffing at maybe twice that rate.....you get a wide band graph that is at any instance...either ahead or behind of reality.

You get nothing but spikes.

This is not saying that the wide band is not VERY useful. But its weakness is that its reading a very poor representative sample (due to exhaust system location)....of a lower/slower resolution system. So...its not what you need for setting up the baseline.
The D-jet system cannot be adjusted fast enough or fine enough in resolution...on the fly...to keep up with the resolution of the wide band.

Really...for setting up...you would be better off with a single wire rich/lean narrow band sensor.

So....you set the engine up by spec...and by ear and seat of the pants driving...and or with a narrow band (Heated)....to give best engine response and throttle transition response and HP.....without any obvious overheating of the heads (ignore the oil temps right now)...or pinging...and with correct starting.

Then.....when you know it RUNS RIGHT....put the wide band on it and see what that looks like.

And....back in the day when these were being tuned at dealers...they used the tailpipe probe for a reason...other than its all they had. The tailpipe probe gives a kind of "filtered average". Its a long way from any singular combustion chamber. Everything gas wise has been added together...combined...mixed....slowed down and now what you are reading is about as low resolution as the system.

Once you KNOW it runs right...and the head temps are in line....the wide band can be used to help you make fine tweaks.

But once you get there...do not follow the wide band blindly. Ignore the big spikes and look in the middle. Ray

Thanks Ray, Im starting to get a better understanding for what Im seeing. I suppose the best "Filtered average" measurement is the gas mileage, as that's an average over a couple hundred miles of running! IT tends to stay in that band of leaner running on the highway more often, so that makes sense that its highway mileage is better, but around town its not in that band very often so mileage is lower.

I thought of putting the lambda sensor in the tailpipe, but feared that would be too much of a restriction.

The head temp sensor is just a thermocouple pushed against the head with a little spring loaded ceramic piece I made, I don't trust that when it says say 280 that that IS the temp of the head, there may be some delta T but I can see if things will change in temp as I lean out, and I suppose that will warn me if its getting too hot. With the Square its easy to hear pinging with the lid open so that will work.

In the spring Ill try leaning out the MPS, see if I can get the missing in the lean spot under control with the injector timing and watch for hesitations off the line or lean spots under very light throttle that haven't been noticeable so far. Since the bucking seems to be worse when rich and better when lean that should improve and maybe I can get the TPS adjusted more in the way of how it should be.

At least the oil leaks are under control now! and I have all winter to find a couple spare good 2L injectors.

Thanks

Well its spring and the Square is out again, and time to get back into tuning!

To pick up where we left off, the consensus of an overall too rich mixture will be something I deal with by leaning out the MPS a bit, taping up the AFR meter for a while and see how it feels. I think my biggest issue as I lean it Out to where it probably should be will be the intermittent missing at part throttle where the “Lean zone” is, however adjusting the Timing on the trigger points helped with that, and perhaps I still don’t have it where it is ideal as I was never able to see any Pulsing of the fuel pressure as I changed that.



Next question is timing, I have it a stock 28 degrees, and I have tried moving that up and down by 2-3 degree’s with no noticeable difference

But what should I be looking for in getting the timing in the sweet spot, and should I even touch it until I get the mixture set up to where

It should be? The KB pistons Im using suggest 2-3 degree’s less timing, should I start by retarding the stock numbers im running now

That much and run with that?

Thanks

Well Ive leaned up the 2056 to the point that im getting 17-18MPG in town and 24 on the highway at 70 and that was even when it was a bit heavily loaded. Oil temps when it was 62 out were running around 200 with heads in the 280’s on average, when temps were around 70 for the return trip oil was up to 215 – 220 and heads occasionally popped over 300 but that thermocouple was getting a bit screwy. Not sure why the oil was so much higher for a small change in ambient.



It seems to be running well, not hearing any detonation, a quick peek at the AFR on the highway saw it running 14’s at half to ¾ throttle, occasionally kissing 15

But going down into the 12’s under full throttle. I still get occasional miss when its in the leaner ranges but mainly when its warming up and that gets less the more advanced I get the FI trigger timing, but im probably 15 degrees or so advanced now and not sure I can clearance the distributor to go any further. Still have some bucking on occasion but much less and again, mainly light throttle during the initial stages of warmup.



Its getting there, I just hope I can keep the oil temps down far enough when the weather really heats up, hopefully the SETRAB will be enough.

pressure sensor issue and question.
The 2056 is running nicely now and the setup is just about where I want it, so I decided to swap the spare pressure sensor back in to match the calibration with the one Im using and happy with. Both are 2L 914 037's and I have set the mixture on the spare to match that of the good one im running and did this during highway driving, they match pretty well now BUT, when Im using the spare, and this has been a past problem with this one, it runs perfectly on the highway, AFR numbers under all conditions same as the good one, it idles fine, it goes down 45-55 MPH roads just fine but when im at say 45 or lower, and in moderate to heavy throttle, especially at lower RPM's, it leans out drastically and starts to misfire, you can see the AFR lean out in its numbers too

Now main mixture is fine on the highway, so im assuming that's correct or darn close, the outer stop is for full throttle only so Im assuming that cant be the problem, the inner stop is for high vacuum light throttle only, so that shouldn't be it unless that can lean it out too much under moderate to heavy throttle at low speed..
So what could the issue possibly be? Ive had it apart, holds a vacuum fine, diaphragm is good, armature FEELS fine, no drag, but what could possibly be causing this issue with this one sensor?

Im stumped! thanks

Keith
