fuel cut detection

so i finally got my unit updated, and now i notice that the scangauge is reporting a 'fuel cut' scenario during engine warm up from a cold start (obviously false because i'm not in vacuum)

i haven't had time to mess around with the cutoff setting (other than to set it as outlined in the manual) - and it seems to be working properly during regular operation.

could it be that it considers an open loop situation to also be a fuel cut?

I haven't taken it to a high load high rpm scenario to see what it does there (<= should also be open loop)

perhaps it is some combination of the two settings (open/closed and tps)...

i wonder what other changes they've made to the fuel consumption algorithms.

also what 'engine size' are you guys running?

Can everyone post what their operating temp ranges are with the scanguage II? It has been in the high 90's here and I have been running between 194 degrees and 211 degrees f. Thanks.

170s-207F throughout fall, winter,and spring. Really never went past 207 no matter what I did until a late spring driving clinic I did (234). From then on until I stopped using the unit it would peak in the 210s.

hawaii weather... 80-90 degrees and 50-85% humidity

prior to AccessPORT i ran over 200 almost all the time, ususally around 205-210, easily hitting 215+ in traffic or when abusing te car

after AP, i have a extremely difficult time getting it over 202. avg is 180-190, traffic etc can push me up to mid 190's at best

Well, I do have the Mazsport cooling fan mod, but here's my data:

Outside temps in the mid 90's lately, humidity in Florida is ALWAYS up there at probably over 80% and usually alot higher. With my A/C on and abusing the car or in traffic, I'll stay between high 170's up to about 198 max................but my fans kick on(with the mod) at just about 195 and cools down to 180 pretty quickly.
Just normal driving seems to be right close to 190.

Okay, so my temps are okay for as hot as it has been. I was thinking it was running a little hot. I will be getting the Masport cooling mod and doing a coolant change soon. Thanks.

Install

Here is where I put mine. I had my radio apart to install the Sylfex Auxmod, so I decided to integrate the ScanGauge at the same time. The faceplate is custom.

I rarely rarely need to press the on/off button. If and when I do, I can still reach it with my pinky finger or a pointed object such as a key.

The buttons just bleed out whatever the LCD backlight is set to. In this case, my white background bleeds blue out of the buttons.

BTW this is how it looks without the faceplate. The fifth button is not blocked.

yeah, i've had it all apart before when i mounted the JDM start button into that halfmoon piece of piano black. i dunno, i dont really ever use the HOME button either, but i couldnt mount it somewhere that was annoying to reach it if i wanted to. nice job though!

I just realized I keep going on about my mounting location but never actually showed the pics.. Check it..





This really makes it usable as a gauge since I just have to glance down without moving my head..

It hides the fuel low idiot light but who needs that anyway...

I know right, the gauge goes so far below E anyways!

Is there any way to run the cable under the dash, up under the left a-pillar plastic, and then sticky the scan gauge onto the top left windshield?

OK here is what I did to mount mine. Took the plastic cover off the left a-pillar, stuck a long cord down the hole that is located where the a-pillar meets the dash with the plastic off for positioning. Ran the Scan Gauge's OBD II cable up through there, taped it along the other wiring that ran up the pillar, and then ran it behind the headliner. I stuck the Scan Gauge to the top center of the windshield, above the rear view mirror where that black dotted stuff is.

It's slanted with the window but still viewable, I just used various pieces of mounting tape to get it angled somewhat better.

Historically it doesn't read right....at least I never got mine to do so. I do have it set to 1.3L though. Maybe someone else will chime in, but I've seen many posts that say it's not accurate in terms of HP.
