One for the tuning guru's.
I need to set up my spark tables on megasquirt as my mpg is really crap. Afr's are fine but timing is off I guess. If anyone can help that would be great

you could lean out your aft targets a bit and re tune the bottom part of your ve table so cruise is a bit leaner save some fuel there

i think a target cruise aft 0f 13.5-13.9 afr is way richer than you need and will cost a fair bit of fuel 15-16 afr would be better, using orfc will help a little and you warm up enrichment looks fat, my m20 does not need any extra fuel after the coolant reaches 27c so if you tune your warm up may help. and i think you ego switch point voltage should be closer to 2.5 volts as well

ORFC?
My fuel table is set up great. Idle at 14-15 afr and under full boost 12.3 -13.2 afr off the top of my head.

My spark table may be the issue after speaking to a few people on megasquirt forum.

yeah i saw the post on msextra and iv seen you msq. Over Run Fuel Cut, and like i said ur afr target table is rich from your data log at say 2800-3000 rpm cruising at 4% throttle the afr is 13.5-13.9 you could be 15-16 in that area.
