retard after it reaches a certin temp

Post by 82dewey »

I am trying to have the ign to start retarding so much after it hits a selected temp. this is for non street use. and my temps have been a little higher then i like them. I see i can add fuel to the tune when it reaches a selected temp, but i would really like to remove some timing. But if my temp is under the selected range, then i dont want it to go away as it is making a difference. the car did get to the temp i selected and looking at the logs and it does not look like it removed the timing like i was hoping. I change the temp range and under the temps its all 0 till i start to get to the selected temps. then i changed it to -2, -4, -8. Logs did not show any change. Now seems the retard area is not able to be edited, will the normal ECT Ign high allow me to do negative change? maybe i also need to do the low. But in the racing i would of thought it would of just been in high range the full time.
either way, please let me know if i can. or an i thinking things wrong?
I would add a picture, but your forum will not let me attach any pictures.

ECT Ignition correction tables uses positive numbers to retard ignition.

Thank you. I was not sure because the top part of ECT IGN just says ECT IGN low and ECT IGN High for the top 2. the bottom 2 say ECT Rtard IGN Low and High.
I just want to clear it up so i can adjust the tune as i need it.

ECT Ign adds ignition during warmup, which you can see in the table. ECT Ign Retard retards ignition when it's too warm. Low and high load for both.
