Not at all sure about that one- your map is different to the one I have for a 5 ltr. The multiplyer is important as well, and they are different. Id take the lid of the ECU abd see whats written in the chip.

That multiplier is used in Land Rover 3.9 No-cat tunes. Marvin you could try a TVR 500 tune from one of those listed on SteveSprint's site to see if that makes a difference to the fuelling (it should do):

I have got the same issue.
On not totaly hot engine the direct reading is 32% on totaly hot it comes down to 29/30%.
The heat affects the output of the AFM. On hot engine somtimes the engine would look to stall, but the ecu keep it alive.

I have got a 20am AFM on stock with a new MA chip. Mark; is this AFM better on output then the stock 5am?
Depends on your engine size- the 20 AM let more air in as its bigger, that can liberate a few ponies given the correct chip if you are over about 250 BHP, but makes little difference on engines below this. I think its worth about 10 BHP on a stock 5ltr.
Thanks Mark.
My engine is a 430 with 275bhp on the stock 5am. I hope it will be 285bhp with the 20am.

Hi,
I didn't change anything and it says map 5. I thought that is correct for a 5-litre?
Car is completely stock except for the pre-cats being removed and the 123ignition.
But I run the normal Rover ignition curve (except for 2° less vacuum advance).





Marvin
I have also the 123 ignition. Please check with a strobe and vacuum off if the timming is correct. Normalwise the standard ignition timing is 10 degrees on this 123 ignition system.

To the standard timing it will be;

123 to standard
0 = 10 degrees
5= 15 degrees
15 = 25 degrees

Yes, I checked the ignition with a timing light, it sits at 8°BTDC at idle.

The difference in map and multiplier seems odd to me, since I never touched the ECU. Is it possible that it was swapped for a standard 3.9? By somebody who didn't know what is different?

And I don't even try to change anything. I only want it to run right...
