I'm considering some ECU tuning.
Assumption,
The stock ECU has a base map of how the engine should run. It then takes readings on the sensors, and adjusts different elements for the optimal tune. For example, if the primary 02 sensor goes bad, it runs a "default" fuel air table based on rpm. Or in the winter, when gasoline is partly supplemented with alcohol, it adjusts again for optimal combustion.
ok.
When you run an ECU with Kpro, does it allow the ECU to run adjustments to air fuel? (like if you have some plug wear, or run winter gas) Or is it a defined table when it is tuned? So it's only set for the conditions when it was tuned last?
Does anyone else run a fuel management add-on vs. Kpro ? (piggy back computer)
I'm for some adjusted fuel mapping to better match the boltons. It would seem to me, since I'm not a swap, I would want something that alters the signal from the sensors, and still allows the ECU some room for adjustments.
