Megasquirt sounds really interesting, I'll have to read up on it more


EDIT @ Honda100

I'm kind of suspecting something along them lines. My MAP sensor display on my scan gauge seems to be a little "jumpy" for the numbers. Like when it is warmer out I can steady drive at around 6.3-6.9, if it touch 7.0 at all, it basically instantly jumps to 7.5-7.9, I have never seen it read like 7.2. After the 7.5-7.9 range, it seems to jump to around 8.5ish which is what I'm running at currently at steady speed for ~40mpg. I think with some areo mods I could get it to stick in the 6.x range and if I keep it in that range, I can get up to 55mpg with the rest of my trip's stops and goes. It is really odd, even in the warm months, if I don't really watch it, or use CC it is always around 7.5-7.7 to maintain steady speed (45-50mph).

Another thing to note, the timing advance DROPS when it is in the 6.x range, steady driving is normally at 37-39 and when it goes into the 6.x mode it is around 26.

I don't remember why exactly, but my dad needed to pull the distributor of, or adjust the timing. What ever the reason way, when he put it back on, he put it on all the way advanced and I remember him wanting it to advance more to be "proper", I don't remember how he was determining this though. Maybe I should adjust it back slightly and see what effect it has, just would hate to drop down to the 30s >.<
