what I really want to know is how to understand what its showing.
Can someone explain how to read it?
thanks Dennis
it just means you are better off fuel economy wise operating at 3500 rpm when accelerating at full throttle. in reality something like 2/3 throttle at 2500 rpm would be more efficient. Lots of stuff can happen at full throttle including open loop enrichment or throttle tip enrichment...ignition retardation due to knock. I personally use my scangauge 2 to monitor my acceleration. I accelerate at ~23 deg IGN and/or 70% engine load at 2500 rpm.
