    Thanks for doing this! It's been a few years since I've had to use auto-tune as my car is in pretty good and stable shape. A friend of mine just got converted and only had a baseline tune from the engine builder and he doesn't have a computer yet. I reviewed this video first to make sure I remembered everything and your pointer on checking the advanced settings was most helpful. Mine was set to 50 pts increments and an adjustment range from 0 rpm, which I immediately changed to your recommendations...I'm going back to my car soon to do the smoothing that you also show, which I've never done outside the manual process you talk about. Again, thanks!

    Cool vid. I didn't know about the lock the cell function, always something to learn. However, you really need to understand lamda delay and the main ego delay parameters, or you are chasing your tail because the wide band 02 information is not real time (compared to ecu reactions) and you can get lost in the loop response that gets set up.

    I agree with EGO control at 0, or off. I would also add that turning off over run fuel cut and acceleration enrichment is a good idea, too. So long as you make very subtle changes in TPS while tuning VE, you should get results in just a few passes at various kPa. If you have a mbc, or ebc, you can also set boost at a high level and a low level, do some pulls and interpolate between these runs for good results. Finally, VE analyze live loves to pull fuel under vacuum, so when you're coasting under say 30 kpa, it'll frequently pull your AFR's into max lean regions, which isn't great for tuning for on/off throttle for accel enrichment. Manually tune these lower areas until they match your ideal AFRs, then you'll find accel enrichment from engine braking to WOT will be much cleaner. Use over run fuel cut and engine state settings to cut fuel on decel to gain economy back and don't let your VE table pull your fuel for you here.

    I've done a little bit of Auto-Tuning on my project, and you covered most of the basics here nicely - but what about "Lambda Delay" ? I think this could be an important aspect, because depending on sensor location, if these values are not right, it doesn't take much imagination to see how Auto-Tune could be modifying the wrong cells. What I've seen suggested, is to temporarily fatten up the VE tables (say, by 10%) and watch the logs for the AFR change and then make adjustments to the delay table... But I've yet to try it. Thoughts?

I always wonder about this when tuners at the dyno put the wideband sniffer in the tailpipe - which is often quite far from the engine. Or maybe they already have their compensations dialed-in? I have my wideband sensor mounted in a "cross-over" point of my exhausts (so I'm capturing output from both cylinder banks) and so far it's working pretty well, but I've yet to do any road-based tuning with any seriousness...

    @@TheChrisey its necessary to keep you TPSdot to as low a level as you can. For best results, do pulls where you add and hold throttle in a locked region, so your throttle changes aren't affecting the table. For example, if you set minimum RPM to 3000, you can lean into the throttle at 2500 and remain steady all the way to redline. Do this at various TPS positions, so you cover a few rows of the table from max kpa to a lower kpa, like 70-90. Interpolate the missed areas vertically and you've got a pretty solid point to switch over to a hard/very hard authority and lower value/% change points.
