All of these scenarios are now achievable using the cruise control multi flash tune (MFT).

Not sure what your question is but by default you need to set the camshaft closed enable/disable scalars to allow use of the main cam timing maps at idle.

It is a workshop parameter.

Version 1.21 brings the following new features. Datalogging! The datalogging functionality has been under rapid development the past few months with a large number of changes made (and more to come) to improve stability and add functionality. The following new features have been added to the datalogger. Right click menu. Chart Show - This enables/disables whether the scalar is shown on the main chart. Items not shown on the chart will be displayed in grey. High Priority - Use this for fast (~50ms) poll rate, up to 15 items can be high priority. Other items will be between 500ms to 3sec poll rate depending on how many are selected. Enumerated - Use this to disable/enable the text lookup field. Eg "Closed Loop" and show the actual number instead. Scalar remove - This will remove the scalar from the list entirely. Same as the "Remove" button above. Decimal adjust - This will change the number of decimal places stored. Note that when saving a file it will always save internally with the maximum number of decimal places. This is a display only feature so you do not lose resolution if the number of decimals is low. You can now save/load datalogging layouts. This file format (tlo) is currently just a simple text file which you can also edit by hand. In the future this file will contain more information. You can now remove the Legend by unticking the legend button. Trans and DLP logging will be available in the next update. Multi Tune: Multi tune wizard is now complete and you can now "load all defaults from existing file". This function lets you duplicate an existing multi tune for a different vehicle/operating system ID. This will load the flex fuel/cruise control setup identically and copy the tune/base tune tables/scalar layout identically. "Load preferred tables from existing file" will load the multi tune base/tune 2/3/4 tables and scalars from another file. This means once you have a known multi tune setup that you want to re-use on other vehicles you can simply reload it over and over again this way saving time. Multi tune scalars. 95% of scalars can now be added to different tunes in the multi tune wizard. This includes rev limits and injector slopes. You can also now add knock tables eg to desensitise the knock sensors when on e85. Improvements: Over 250+ bugs have been fixed in this release. Many performance improvements have been made. Added concurrency support so you can have multiple instances of the editor open at once and licenses will remain synced between each copy. Download: This version of the editor can be downloaded from the website here, please ensure you are logged in first. There will be a new beta version 1.22 out soon. https://www.pcmtec.com/downloads There is a fully featured free demo also available that includes access to a demo multi tune and example datalog https://www.pcmtec.com/demo

FORD Acronyms booklet.pdf Fore/aft oxygen sensor control. Loads of Ford acronyms in this PDF. I found it on google. It is very old from the late 90s.

We now have an extra column in the strategy list to help you determine the appropriate HAEE4 operating system. I have updated the post above describing this in detail. You can thank @Darryl@pcmtec for painstakingly comparing the different base operating systems to figure out the correct mapping there. Please note that this mapping is not perfect and there may be unknown differences, however it uses far more information than we previously did in the manual method to determine a hardware match, so you should have much better mileage.

Going to go with you have a problem with the actuator. Datalog the camshaft position vs requested position (eg the position error). Also check for DTC codes relating to the VCT sensor.

A simple fix would be to wire the A/C compressor into the power steering pressure switch input. Then when the compressor clicks on it will trigger the idle up that normally occurs when at full lock. If you are still running power steering with the pressure sensor you could wire the two electrically in series so if either occur you get an idle up condition. You could also drop the idle ignition timing (by increasing the idle airflow). This gives you more torque reserve when the engine starts to stall and the PCM can recover quickly using ignition timing. A combination of the above should have the car idling like factory with no stalling.

You can just change the pulse count scalar in the editor to suit the new sensor. As long as it generates a square wave of some form with the same voltage it should work, it is a very primitive frequency counter, nothing special. I think a lot of people use a VT commodore hall affect sensor from memory but the ABS wheel sensor would also work, you should be able to piggy back off this. If the car doesn't have ABS I didn't think there would be any wheel speed sensors though? Where are they being wired to currently?

Yes you need a wheel speed input for things to function properly. Your best option would be to add a speed sensor to the tailshaft, lots of people do this in the conversion world but it is an added cost. You can also tune out the wheel speed input but I can't tell you what is required, there are lots of limp modes that kick in, some only occur 10-15 minutes after starting the car. Quite a few of the conversion guys fix this but I can't share what they do obviously as its their bread and butter. You could try Brett Hogno here, he might be able to assist. https://www.facebook.com/Custom-Machine-Works-856789001022313/

It is for ID1000 injectors and is supplied when you buy them (can view them all on their website). It is why I highly recommend paying the premium and getting their injectors as you get good base data. Almost no one supplies data, or even worse they just copy other injector data which is wrong.

When you say "a fuel reg" do you mean a modified standard one to fix the high pressure at idle issues? It is worth checking the fuel pressure at idle and at WOT to make sure it has enough return flow to maintain a consistent pressure. When it stalls does the dash cut out? Some of the older BAs have issues with the PCM getting hairline cracks, extreme weather (hot or cold) makes them cut out. You can confirm if this is the issue by datalogging when the issue occurs, if the car simply stalls it will continue logging, if the PCM is losing power or resetting the datalog will stop. Finally (though I would test this first as its the easiest) what are you LTFTs like when warm (start here then work backwards to cold star). If you can show me a megalog viewer scatter plot of pulse width (Fuel PULSE WIDTH) vs fuel mass with the Z axis as LTFT. If you get a plot like the one below (showing terrible 18% trims at low load) then you need to fix that. If this is your own car and you have all the time in the world, I would be aiming for 1-3%. If it is a customers car and you are limited on time 10% is the highest number you can get before you start running into stalling issues (you should be able to achieve 10% or better in under an hour). 20-30% and the car will not idle when cold, it will be stalling when the AC kicks in etc etc. More reading on injector scaling here.

ID1000 will be good enough to start with, you will still need to scale it though. Here is what I used for E85 with stock fuel pressure. This gets me ~1-2% fuel trims everywhere, obviously you will need to tweak this data.

Use a windows laptop or tablet and a cheap cable. You can then read the tune off and save it. Otherwise you could just ask your tuner to send you the original file (assuming they are ok with this). Generally if your car is SCT tuned or PCMTEC Tuner locked the dealer will be locked out anyway, as in their tools won't connect to allow a reflash.

Yes it could be done instantaneously with an infinite number of boost levels depending on what type of dial you use.

Update. The current uses cases described here are now redundant due to the multi tune. You could however use the same circuits to multiplex in a thermocouple, afr protection via a wideband or a low level switch from a water methanol kit.

Everything should be however to be 100% sure check out the demo version, untick view - > pcm - > workshop then make sure all the parameters you need are there.

You can also just buy the $100 ethanol converter from nistune if you are looking to save costs, this is a 5V output which will still need to be stepped down to 1.6v max (max the rear o2 can accept) https://www.nistune.com/index.php/nistune-shop/flexfuel/nistune-flex-fuel-converter-harness-detail

You are welcome to make your own kit and sell it, however be aware if a customer goes to a workshop with this kit you would have to provide them with support and a warranty on it. If you don't then we would end up copping flack from the workshop and having to support an unknown product. Currently Pirotta Performance makes all the flex fuel kits which are sold to the workshops which are the only kits we officially support, the reason behind this is the voltage calibration for these kits if hard coded into our UI, he supplies a plug and play loom with connectors with step down resistors where required, also fuel rail fittings etc. There is no technical reason why you cannot make your own kit (voltages are configurable in the software), I just want people to be aware if they buy it and go see a workshop that we will not be able to provide them with technical support regarding it. If you are tuning yourself etc, then obviously there is no issue here.

Would work exactly the same as the normal flex fuel kit + custom os eg it would be wired into the rear O2 sensor analog input. There would be no support if you use DIY I just put this up in case people wanted something more flexible (lol) and had programming/aduino experience.

It has been discussed on the forums multiple times. So some searching.

For those of you who like coding and electronics here is a DIY Flex Girl kit using an audino for roughly $100 https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/e85-ethanol/734384-e85-gauge-w-output-under-100-a.html

Power steering support is not implemented yet, only the boost sensor so we recommend using a turbo PCM and using this input. No one to date has done a Flex kit on an NA BA so I'm not sure if the NA PCM has the boost input available. Some of the gas BF/FG models do have have it so it may be the case for the BA as well. You really want to use the turbo PCM anyway as without the built in boost controller you miss out on great stuff like boost by speed/gear and boost by ethanol content.

I6 BA we use the boost sensor for the flex kit. About 15+ BA vehicles done to date. Almost all tuners run the BA boost control in open loop but we substitute the MAP sensor value for boost control if it is still needed. V8 BA we have not had any requests for yet but if we do we will use the power steering pressure sensor.
