3800 Who Has A Power Tuner
- Thread starter MIKES3
- Start date
You want to know what really up sets me? When I bought this Power-tuner I knew it wasn't going to be easy to learn, but when you don't have any direction what so ever how do you even begin? You would think this would come with some sort of guidance in regards to what the tuner has to offer. You spend $400 to get the power-tuner and access to a website. My problem is I need to see it in action. I am a visual learner. If there were instructions on how to use each sections of the power tuner it would be cake walk to learn. I have had the power tuner since December of 05. The only things I understand it PE Table, MAF table and the IFR. Just when I thought I figured out how to do something its completely wrong. I'ma little upset about this and I have a feeling I am not the only person
Is this a joke ?
If you go to the FAQ section, there are numerous examples of how to use the product including screen shots.
There is also a tuner guide which pretty walks you through the process.
There are over 500 users on the forum available to answer questions.
The manual is ~180 pages (with screen shots and walk throughs for basic operations)
I hardly call that 'any' direction.... Tuning a vehicle takes time and patience and persistence. I have many people who emailed me when they first got the product stating they were over their head. Most of them seem not to have much trouble getting things figured out when they put a dedicated effort into understanding how to tune a vehicle.
I'm sorry you are having issues; however, there are many avenues for support.

As far as what it does, this was answered on clubgp in your post so I did not bother here, but........
BASE PE is the target A/F ratio in Power Enrichment mode. You enter Power enrichment mode based on another table that specifies what TPS % signifies Power Enrichment mode. When you enter PE mode, your base PE is modified (adjusted) based on other criteria. One of those criteria is the PE time vs RPM table. This table is a MODIFIER table. The 'timer' starts when you enter PE mode. The RPM is simply the engine RPM. Take the two of them and locate the correct cell in the table. The value in that cell is then added/subtracted against the Base PE table to get a 'final' PE target.
If you see a number like -.5, it is going to subtract .5 A/F from the BASE PE target. If you see .5, its going to add .5 A/F to the BASE PE.
Realize that PE has a unit of A/F (Air to Fuel ratio). 12.5 would read 12.5 : 1. 12.5 is richer than 13 because 12.5 is 12.5 parts air to 1 part fuel while 13 would be 13 parts air to 1 part fuel.

the way I handle pe vs time is very simple look at your scan as soon as you enter pe start counting the seconds if you're 6 seconds into the WOT run and you're leaning out you decrease the value in that cell..
mike if you're confused and need help send me a PM I could stop by and show you how everything works
