Post Tuning fuel pressure from O2 readings?

Ive yet to try it, but on thirdgen's tech articles it says when your readings are between .850v and .900v at WOT, then you're OK. Then someone told me that it will oscillate (sp?) between .200v and .800v fairly quickly and that .850v+ is very rich. From my WinALDL logs on my stock engine at WOT it always seems to stay right around .870v, never oscillating...?

Is the baud rate just too low on my ALDL port to see the volts varying or what?

Thanks for any help here.

Chuck, as a novice like yourself at programming, which is what I presume you are gonna try to do to your EPROM, I can say that I have no clue lol Actually, I don't believe that the O2 voltage readings should vary much at WOT. There should be a table that controls your WOT spart advance and injector pulse width based on the O2 readings. I believe that it is the same as the LV8 vs. Coolant Temp and Spark advance table. Have you gotten WinBin yet to play around with?

Brad, Im not quite ready to start burning chips yet, mainly because my wallet isnt ready. Damn money. But Im going to be running higher pph injectors and I might run a vacuum afpr, but Im not sure what to tune the fuel pressure to using the O2 readings. From what I've read, thats what you need to look at.

1989gta, read traxxion's tech article about burning your own chips on thirdgen.org, then check out the DIY prom board and do some searches if you have questions. I have no idea whats going on with that stuff, but the archives over there are great.
