    Do weather condition effect VVE ???

    I did my VVE tune in 100F and high humidity...

    Does anyone know how weather conditions effect VVE tune ??? If i was to scan in 60F weather, would it require changes ??

    Anyone know ???

    Iat is part of te formula and is directly related to ambient temps so yes it is effected

    I think theres an editable field that says what temp it was calibrated in. It says 68* stock and I zeroed mine in when it was that temp outside to be sure. I?m pretty sure that?s what the description stated

    Turn off the temp setting option, tune VVE, then turn it on with your actual temp displayed in the PID. The car references the ambient temp. And watch out for the reflash which makes ambient read 32degrees, mine has done this a number of times in the past. Random stuff to watch out for.

    Running the vehicle at 55 mph for 2 minutes should get the ambient reading back to proper.

    I got the 32 degree ambient issue also after flashing my VVE logging tune to the car. How are you correcting? Just flash again?

    Thanks Ben. So if I am doing my VVE tuning and corrections in 91 degree ambient tenps outside, I need to set the base temp to 91 degree vs 68 when I re-enable tenp correction?

    I only tune VVE when it's 68 degrees outside.
