EricMcN Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Hi Folks, Thanks for having me, I figured this is a good source of knowledge as cars like mine are getting pretty rare - I am learning all the time even though I have this car over 7 years now My question is two fold, the fuel trim and the timing advance. On idle the Bank 2 seems to be overly rich, a few people said its ok - indeed I saw some rom data from a a similar car as mine that had the same rich condition at idle - it looks to be the nature of the engine? The second point is I see some glitch in the timing, Is this normal? nominally it should be approx 15 Degrees at idle but this drops to 7 Degrees at times. I have the Free SSM tool so can get data if its any use to assist? car runs fine, no codes etc - I am just sticking my nose into places it really should not go.

silverton Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) less than 5 negative or positive is ideal on the fuel trims, upwards of 10 is okay and really nothing to worry about, 15+ is like... okay, something isn't quite right, 25 you get a check engine light. Since you say the vehicle runs fine and not producing any DTC's, it's fine so don't worry about it ya heckin hypochondriac! Ever since I got a Fitbit I've been thinking I'm probably dying, sometimes we don't need to see the data ya know?

m sprank Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Car appears to be running rather well. Like @silverton said. You dont really know what you are looking at so why look as nothing is broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 If you want things to worry about I am sure I can share some of my load, LOL. Otherwise, the world is heavy enough without adding the weight of your Legacy onto your shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
