Temps changes A/fthe
I am using emanage and running 07/07 map found on here on my turbo 8.
Temps went down to 70s to 85 from high 90s and now my 8 is sputtering. Before it did not.
did the temps change the a/f and made it sputter?
Thanks
Chris

When I had my CZ in and the temps went up from winter to summer, I had to adjust my fuel trims. Since the GReddy is supposed to be in open-loop under boost, I don't know off hand why the AFR would change. If I were you, I'd install a WB02 just to keep an eye on things. It would sure help diagnose random issues like this.
BTW, what RPM range does it sputter in?

Sputters when vacuum reaches .02 bars. I am beginning to think that my plugs are fouled, i am running the colder plugs and heard they do foul easy. Change the fuel map several times and did not make that much of a difference.

We fired up the Megasquirt on the RX-8 for the very first time today. We were looking at Canscan to watch what the car was doing. We mostly played at idle but did notice that the a/f ratio did affect coolant temps. We could watch them change as I richened it up or leaned it out. If the coolant temps change, so do the oil temps.

Thanks for all the input, I think that my problem was not the a/f changing now though. I am running one range colder plugs and am turboed. I had my turbo timer set to run for 8 minutes and fouled the plugs. Once I set it back to three minutes and drove it some, it is fine. I am going to post this on the Turbo timer diy later tonight.

Nope, disregard that previous post, now i have finally found the problem with my ratios. The ltft and stft, had not heard of that, so if you have not, read up! I will reset my ecu weekly now until i get a better solution than the emanage. The stock ecu was leaning my ratio out even under boost, don't uderstand why but it did. Thanks for all the input though.
