[Diy_efi] Pulse width meter - Using the Data

[mbelloli at speedymotorsports.com]

     I have a quesiton in regards to using Pulse Width readings in
Milliseconds.  How usable is this besides a general ballpark reading?
 If you were going to build a map of how much fuel was added at any
given MAP/RPM reading would these readings be good enough?  I look at
injectors all the time with a DSO, but I'll be damed if I can see the
difference in readings between an injector that is supplying the
right amount of fuel and one that is very close.  My meter readings
look the same. If I made a very small change in the Volumetric
Efficiency table that made a signifigant change in the running at
idle I was still reading the same MS.  I had to go way off the sweet
spot before I could see the difference in the meter readings.  Now at
higher RPMs it does become more obvious when looking at MS readings,
but it sure doesn't seem to be at idle.  All my customers are
complaining about idle quality, and rarely about WOT quality.  If you
wanted to build a map you could then take and compare to the
Volumetric Efficiency table / fuel table, what would be the best way
to do it?

Thanks,

Marcello
