Today I noted:
ScanGauge "LOD" below 60 to go into LB.
Once in LB, LOD over 90-91 will put it out of LB.
Up till today I was using the TPS for same purpose,limits were 19 max to get LB and over 32 would end it. But the TPS limits actually vary with your rpm's, I think LOD numbers are a more consistent guide.

Awesome testing Bruce. I have been getting a check engine light for P1164 lately (main 5 wire O2 not reading properly.) Once I upped my RPM's and was going 70-75, I seem to get into lean burn just fine. Once in I can then lower my speed back down to 65 mph. I have a new O2 on order so know if it is the O2 limiting me, or the tall gears / low RPM's of the transmission.

LOD is a scan gauge abbreviation for engine load. It is a percentage of the maximum power available that is currently being generated to what is being used.

Yes, I will post some links later today unless someone else beats me to it. As Bruce said, it is for a VX, but they use the same O2 sensor and technology.

Thanks. I want really high MPG, but don't want to give up AC. I also want to swap over the power windows and locks to have a few more "luxuries." Once that is complete I will probably put on a car alarm with keyless entry and a truck/hatch release. No remote start though… lol wasting fuel to get the car warmed up? NEVER!
