hey dcb, and everyone who made this project happen its a great thing you all have done. I just went through this whole thread looking for specific info to get my car calibrated correctly. I drive a 1995 civic vx and have the mpguino that ordered from dcb installed and running but it is just off a bit. I believe the vss is right. And I found that andrewj thought that the correct inj should be about 4999200000. so I have to actually rack up some driving time and see if those two numbers make the mileage seem more feasible. If anyone have calibrated a civic vx I would be uber greatful to get the numbers because I am going on a 1,100 mile road trip and would love to have a correct calibration.

Thanks

Is there someplace I can download 0.80 cpp and 0.75 cpp (if it exists) ? I'd like to follow the changes & possibly incorporate them into 0.75 pde.

processInjOpen/Closed

I think there is an error in processInjOpen/Closed. I understand the change made from 0.74 to 0.75 resulted in more steady GPH calculations, but I believe the results are incorrect.

In 0.74, InstInjStart/End were always set to the beginning of the "On" signal. GPH was calc'd as (Total On Time) / (Total On+Off Time).

In 0.75, InstInjEnd was changed to the beginning of "Off". This causes the last "Off" period to drop from the GPH calc. Suppose 10 equal-length pulses occur during one loop period. GPH = (10 * On) / (10 * On + 9 * Off). Since injector pulses are "Off" much longer than "On", this will skew the result several percent higher.


My suggested fix is to return to the 0.74 Start/End method (always at leading edge of "On"), but instead of updating Inj totals on the Off signal (processInjClosed), wait until the pulse cycle is complete, and then update the totals in processInjOpen.

Code:
void processInjOpen (void)
{
  injHiStart = microSeconds();

  if (tmpInstInjStart == nil)  tmpInstInjStart = injHiStart;
// else { // edit 9/26/09 - see note below
    tmpInstInjTot += tmpInstInjOn;
    tmpInstInjCount++;
    tmpTrip.injHius += tmpInstInjOn;
    tmpTrip.injPulses++;
//  } // edit 9/26/09

  tmpInstInjEnd = injHiStart;
}


void processInjClosed (void)
{
    tmpInstInjOn = elapsedMicroseconds(injHiStart)- parms[injectorSettleTimeIdx];
}


in loop():

change     tmpInstInjStart=nil;
to:     tmpInstInjStart=tmpInstInjEnd; //preserve InjStart of unfinished pulse from previous loop



near line 200:

change:  unsigned volatile long tmpInstInjEnd=nil;
and add: unsigned volatile long tmpInstInjOn=0;
edit 9/26/2009 processInjOpen -- remove the else condition. If one or more loops were entirely EOC, tmpInstStart will alwayss == nil, and the last good tmpInstInjOn will not get added to tmpTrip, and thus, will never be added to tank or current via update(). Removing the else will allow the old injOn to get updated to all the Trip structures, regardless of injStart's status.

The side-effect of this unconditional update: instantgph & rpm will be a little off for the re-entry loop, but you're coming off an EOC where gph=0.00 and mpg=999.999, so no real harm.

Addition to above processInjOpen/Closed procedures: Discard Too-Long Pulses.


Code:
#define injEdgeIdx 10          //v0.82
#define injectorMaxTimeIdx 11  //discard any pulses longer than this value
#define parmsLength (sizeof(parms)/sizeof(unsigned long)) //array size      


char *  parmLabels[]={
"Contrast","VSS Pulses/Mile", "MicroSec/Gallon", "Pulses/2 revs","Timeout MicroSec",
"Tank Gal * 1000", "InjectorDelay uS","Weight (lbs)","Scratchpad(odo?)","VSS Delay ms",
"InjTrg 0=Dn 1=Up", "Max Inj Pulse us" };



unsigned volatile long maxInjOn=0;
// use for debugging, display it on a Custom screen.  See what kind of pulse length we can expect during normal driving.  Then, set injectorMaxTimeIdx accordingly.


void processInjClosed (void)      //v0.82
{
  tmpInstInjOn = elapsedMicroseconds(injHiStart);
  if (tmpInstInjOn > parms[injectorMaxTimeIdx] || tmpInstInjOn < injectorSettleTime)
    tmpInstInjOn = 0;   // now weed out too-big & too-small pulses
  else  tmpInstInjOn -= injectorSettleTime;

  if (tmpInstInjOn > maxInjOn)  maxInjOn = tmpInstInjOn;   //debugging info, to find max injector length
}



void processInjClosed (void)      //v0.75
{
  tmpInstInjOn = elapsedMicroseconds(injHiStart);
  if (tmpInstInjOn > parms[injectorMaxTimeIdx] || tmpInstInjOn < parms[injectorSettleTimeIdx])
    tmpInstInjOn = 0;   // now weed out too-big & too-small pulses
  else  tmpInstInjOn -= parms[injectorSettleTimeIdx];

  if (tmpInstInjOn > maxInjOn)  maxInjOn = tmpInstInjOn;   //debugging info, to find max injector length
}

I did something similar some time ago.

This may have already been answered for someone else, but does anybody know if the MPGuino will work on my 93 Geo Metro 1.0 Liter? I believe it is before the 1996 OBD 2.
Thanks for any answer!
Doug

MPGuino does not use OBD/OBD2 protocol, so it should work.
Actually MPGuino is designed for cars which are pre-OBD2
here is wiki page with lots of useful information MPGuino - EcoModder

Thank you!
I guess I am still a little confused. My 93 Geo Metro has TBI, Throttle Body Injection, so I do not know if there are even any injectors on this head. I have seen a picture of a head & no injectors were evident, unless I am blind. So I wonder how I would pull a signal off of an injector lead. So before I make a purchase of the gauge, can you or anyone offer any suggestions or history of their install on Geo Metro TBI?
Thank you for any answers!
Doug

ummm...Throttle Body Injection - that name only should give you a hint that there shoult be an injectors/injector somewhere in the throttle body.

quick google gave me this page: Identifying Sensors - 1993 Geo Metro 3 cyl TBI 5 speed - Automotive Message Forums
maybe it gives you something useful (at least many sensor locations) - I dont have TBI motor so I dont want to waste more than 2 minutes there.
