27003, Compression and Fuel
Posted by Dave_FL, Jul-09-02 08:28 AM
Could lower compression as in 8:6 idle bad because there isnt enough or there is too much fuel. Wouldnt the computer think its still at 9:5 compression and give it the wrong amount of fuel?

Nope

As long as you still use the stock ECU, it will read the O2 sensor to determine how much fuel to add at idle. I don't think 1 pt in compression is going to make a significant impact on idle quality. Your fuel demands should be a little different with the lower compression...but the ECU can adjust...just like it does with every other small alteration you make.

Maybe I have bad O2 sensors? Who knows but this shit is frustrating. My mechanis swears he set the timing correctly. I havent had time to check through the peek hole by the tire yet. I really wish I could get rid of my rough idle.
