got the maps, will be trying them out in the coming days.
one quick question MM, when we first install the flash and start up the car, you want us to let it warm up, take it for a quick drive around the block, THEN check the STFT AT IDLE to determine if we need to add or remove trim correct?

"At cruise and idle, the stoichiometric ratio (14.7) is probably best, though it is often possible to run a bit leaner. Mid throttle power should be in the range from stoich down to 13.5:1. On decel, it is a good idea to cut fuel completely, or at least shoot for ratios as close to 20:1 as possible to prevent loading and backfires."

Does the WOT reading of AFR need to be in a specific gear? Do you recommend gradually building up to 8K or flooring it to 8K holding it there for a few seconds then reading the #?

Do this on a track, isolated from traffic. Or, an abandoned runway at a county airport. Whatever you do, you need to be careful. Your posts read like your new to this, so please don't do this in your neighborhood.

It's best to use a data logger, so you can keep yours eyes on the road and tach.

Start with the pedal NOT floored. Try it about 75% or so and watch the A/F.
Then, try floored.
Do it in second gear and third gear. They are different fuel calculations.
You should see numbers that stay below 13.5 for the most part, other than when you let up on the pedal or first step on it.

Not sure if this has been brought up before and sorry if it has but I was wondering if flashing the ecu poses any kind of harm to it,
I do know that on some vehicles you can only flash the pcm so many times before it blocks you from flashing anymore...

flashing it should not harm the PCM. Running the wrong maps for prolonged periods or under certain conditions (WOT) can potentially cause issues

i need to do some freeway driving this weekend so i think im not going to reflash my car until sunday so i have a whole week to work with the different maps.
I can plug in the AP and play with the live readout modes even though my car is running on the stock flash right?

Jeff,
Hate to bother you again but just to make sure. I shoul Install your base map let car warm up then go for a short drive around, stop go to idle and check stft and ltft. Add both #'s together and use that # to chose the appropriate map? I just ask because in your first e-mail you didn't mention adding both #'s but in your second you did. Once the idle trim is correct (as close to 0 as possible) I should drive around at variouse loads but not WOT and see if trims stay within + - 6% of idle trim. Now when I'm checking it this time is it just the stft or ltft that I'm checking or are they added together as well? Please be patient with my questions once I get the hang of this I won't be so annoying.
