Default Strange stuff that always bothers me: fans stay on, Gamme Enrich

For some reason my fans come on at the correct temperature, but they don't turn off. I have the fan running off JS2 (boost control) and just like I said, it turns on but won't turn off unless I turn the AC button on flip the blower on/off twice. It also comes on when I crank the car, with the same on/off procedure to turn it off.

Then, gamma enrichment is always on at 116. I don't know why, can someone look at my MSQ and tell me what I'm overlooking?

Can you post your user defined Cold start and Warm up enrichments?

I can, but they're all under 161*f. Still want it?

I think I got all the project files and MSQ uploaded here.

What are your other enrichments at when gamma is at 116? Baro? others.

Yes that's the next step in the FI. What are the rest of the enrichments at while at 116?

that would make the setup run like crap if baro was actually turned on.


the Gammae is your coolant (ait) corrected air density table.

your fan problem is odd. looks like you want it to come on at 195° and off at 190°F but it never turns off? I wonder if there's a zener diode on that output holding the channel open or something.

The fan never worked properly with MS. I have the standard circuitry where the MSpnp is supposed to trigger the fans without the thermoswitch...but that never happened so I wired it to the boost control output. I'm about to give up and put the fan on a SPST and trigger it off the same output. Hopefully that way it will turn off.

Bro, I do not have barometric correction on my "1st batch" MSpnp. Sorry, that did not compute...but I'm slamming coffee now.

I vote for a manual switch in cockpit for the fans. Other topics, I don't know, but you're cute.

Manual fan switches on street cars are for cave men.

I'm aware, do you think I spend all this time in the gym to be ugly?
