Ford quote 470mm of Hg at idle in neutral. This equals 18.5in of Hg. This converts to 9 psi of Vacuum. Are you sure you are measuring inches of mercury or psi.

If you are pulling 11in of Hg at idle, then that is only 5.5psi of vacuum.

If this is the case then this will explain your fuel issue and lack of closed loop. If this is so then you have a vacuum leak and not necessarily on the intake, it could be through your exhaust valves.

Is the cam and head stock?


Yeah, even with a long duration cam I still get around 15-16inHg at idle.
If you have less than that you definitely have either a bad vacuum leak or valve/cam timing problem.

unless he is measuring in in/hgA, then 11in/hga is equal to about 19in/hg

I'm measuring MAP, not vacuum, I think that's where the confusion is. I get 11 MAP at idle which is equal to 18 vacuum since atmospheric is 29 today.

If that is the case, then yes you are around 18inhg

barometric pressure - (minus) MAP = intake manifold vacuum.

Can I ask how you are measuring MAP.

Got a crappy GM 1-bar map sensor hooked upto a datalogger and the laptop.

Fair enough :D .

So with your Vacuum basicly spot on, that throws the vacuum issue out.

Have you checked your O2 sensor in relation to your fuel issues?

my DOHC read around the minus 20 area in PSI when at idle

That is 40in of hg.

Is your gauge reading PSI or Inches Hg?

If it is reading PSI, then your gauge is stuffed Mitch.

psi but was a boost guage, so might read diffrently?

No, Boost gauge works just like a Vacuum Gauge.

Mechanical or electronic gauge?

Do you know what your dashpot gain is set to?
I got much better engine braking and much faster return to idle by changing dashpot gain and modifying dashpot decay rate. I've managed to get it to the point where it performs similar to having isc unplugged above 1200rpm.
I don't think I've ever seen less than 4l/100km in my EF on decel.
I'm pretty sure my fuel cut is working though because there is a noticeable difference in engine braking if neutral switch is connected to ecu or not.

Yeah got a wideband with the datalogger (not currently connected)... I've ran both the narrowband sim off that, and now run a separate bung with the narrowband. No problems there always circles around 14.7.

Did a bit of a search and saw a quote on fiends thread that the neutral switch on the gearbox will disable lean cruise and decal fuel cut...so going to try look into that. It seems to work fine like I said before 5V in gear, 0V in neutral. Although the same quote about it says it should be the opposite?

I tried unplugging it but drove the same? I noticed unplugged it reads 5v on the neutral wire to the ECU (pin 30), which doesn't really make sense since there's no circuit unplugged according to the wiring I've seen. Do you know what voltage you get on pin30?

neutral switch was mentioned in this thread on the first page
