(arameter Ma3. correction 071 shouldn4t be bigger than 1-C. This parameter sets the maximum
value of ;ong %ime <uel %rim which gas controller will tr, to ad3ust b, changing gas in3ection

OSCA!" O*+ CA" SAS controller will be tr,ing to ad3ust the in3ection opening time 3ust li8e
for the 1-C value.

will be oscillating as close to expected car4s manufacturers default values >so called neutral point?
as possible.
ST:T and LT:T mixture correctors are referring to the corrections d,namicall, imported to table of
in3ection opening times in original petrol .C). These corrections are being made all the time to
obtain the ideal proportions of stochiometric value of air'fuel mixture >10@9 : 1?. ST:T are referring
to temporar, conditions of driving >li8e rapid accelerating@ bra8ing etc.?. LT:T are referring to long
lasting conditions >li8e wor8 of the engine on idle? and the, are being an averaged value from
ST:T.
Corrections are showed up as a percentage. (ositive value means that in that particular moment the
mixture is too lean and petrol .C) is tr,ing to elongate the petrol in3ectors opening time to enrich
it. "egative value means that mixture is too reach and petrol .C) is tr,ing to shorten the in3ection
opening time to ma8e it leaner.
The concept of banks is referring to F;B t,pe engines. C,linder mar8ed as no. 1 should be alwa,s
in ban8 no. 1. F;B t,pe engines should alwa,s have one side assigned to ban8 no. 1 >c,linders with
numbers from 1 to # or from 1 to 0? and another side to ban8 no. $ >c,linders with numbers from 0
to / or from - to 5?. Straight t,pe engines should have all the c,linders assigned to ban8 no. 1.
Algorithm of controller4s adaptation in dependenc, of O*+ corrections is basing on reading actual
values of ST:T and LT:T and depending on these values elongating or shortening gas in3ection
opening times. &n result of such actions mixture is being enriched or leaned to 8eep the ST:T and
LT:T in desired range.
$-'#2
&n example: if LT:T are going too far in positive direction >the, are growing?@ algorithm is
increasing the gas in3ection opening time to enrich the mixture@ so finall, the LT:T are going in
negative direction >the, are falling?.
&f the LT:T are going to far in negative direction >the, are falling?@ algorithm is shortening the gas
in3ection opening time to lean the mixture@ so finall, the LT:T are going in positive direction >the,
are growing?.
Actual value of calculated corrections we should control from time to time. To big absolute value of
these correction mean that some mechanical part might be worn out and we should ma8e some
mechanical ad3ustments to some parts of seDuential gas in3ection s,stem.
