I'm not saying ANYONE'S setting will be ideal for me, rather they just might get me in the ballpark of where I need to be. I don't have the money to buy parts and turn it over to someone else to install/tune for me, I'd like to learn. I just didnt' recieve any info with the purchase of this AFC and was wondering if anyone has ever installed one on a near stock civic and what settings they ran. I would be rather sad if I expected any major gains merely by changing my fuel mapping though. Sorry for the long posts just looking for some tech help on tuning.
Okay then, perform a system reset on the AFC, and keep those parameters, they are fine.
You really can't LEARN how to set up something as critical as a air fuel controller WITHOUT the propper equipment. Scan tool or not, it wont tell you nearly enough information , like a chasis dyno.
