    Knock Sensor Sensitivity

    How do you de-sensitize the knock sensors on the v6?

    Go to Spark Retard > Knock Retard Attack > Base Retard and multiply the whole table by .5 to start. I would also multiply the Knock Retard Decay > High Load table by 2 to start. Just make sure that there is no audible spark knock.

    Most NA V6's will only need ~20* max spark timing at wot.

    thanks man.

    any helpful hints on the decel tables?

    car wants to stall when slowing down at times.

    oil pressure drops; rpm's drop

    bump on decel tables.
    what they affect.
    recommended adjustments?

    with decel disabled the histo/log is dead nuts. (+/- 2% everywhere)
    with decel enabled the histo/log creates some spikes, lean. (up to 12% in spikes/readings)
    would like to know how to lighten this effect.

    or find out if its anything to be concerned with.

    thanks

    Post your file, the V6 cars don't have idle airflow tables like the V6 trucks and the V8's. There are no idle base spark timing tables for the V6 cars either. What do you have your idle rpm set at? What are the specs. of your camshaft?
