Not true - closed loop control works as per normal. Spark maps are retained as per maf tuning and desired AFR maps still work as well. Absolutely no draw backs at all if the map is well tuned. |

Absolutely no draw backs at all if the map is well tuned. are you sure? think you better clarify or rethink your statement! ill assume your from chip talk! if so you should have a brain and as such ill agree you can tune with tps or with a map sensor! your method is either ingenious and your doing something else as well to achieve this! thats fine i have not wasted my time on these ecu's but ill run some tests on my nc 5.0 soon! i'm of the belief once in mafless / map mode you infact do loose some control but ill test that before i say it as fact! as you are possibly using winols or similar its a matter of definitions you have available to you as to strategy changes! or better again the developers software from ford! there is a simple way to achieve map or mafless using sniper, tunerpro etc. that does retain all factory strategies and allows full ford table resolution! i also believe even without o2 it is shiite loads better than carby and dizzy! op if supercharged you need temp comps taken from after the charger or coolers - so buyer beware with mafless or draw through maf! |

I can 100% guarantee that LTFT and STFT maps operate as per normal in TPS mode on an AU in MAF failure mode. Cant say that the LTFT cells are disabled in MAF failure mode on earlier models as I cant get that data from them. But they definately toggle the 02 sensor which would suggest there is closed loop activity. The map's axis's are also present if you have the know how to find them. I was suprised at the level of control achieved on my first mafless AU auto with around 230@50 Sq cam I tuned. I thought that there would be stalling issues as you pulled the car into gear due to the higer load however I the fuel trim strategies by AU are so fast that it just trims around it. I think its definately worth a look if you need to go down that route. Would I recommend MAFLESS tuning - NO!!! Can I tell my customers that - NO!!! Hence the need! Is a MAF the best way of metering Air into an engine - %100 YES!! |

That makes sense Rob. AU EECV is a very powerful piece and I don't have as much experience with these. I started using an AU EECV with my 5.0 XG van but ended up selling that before I got too far.
As for telling a customer he can't have MAFless why not? Is it more a case of they want it at all costs or what? |
