The injectors fire once per revolution, supplying half the charge for a given cylinder each time they fire. So at 1500 rpm they'll be firing every 40 milliseconds. If the ECU only looks at the AFM that often it's not likely to see the peak value which seems to be only about ten milliseconds long. But I expect it looks more often. If it looks every five milliseconds it should catch the peak. > Someone should disassemble the code in the ECU program. :-) Prolly should get in touch with these guys... http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=382053&start=80 Yours, David |
