Quick stat for the techie crowd. While recording the balance rate above, I was also capturing the raw injector pulse signals from the ECM on the 5v lines.
If you zoom into each individual pulse, and compare main pulse times [tagged on right], to the Bal Rate PID values, one can see how the ECM adjusts individual pulse times to compensate per stoke. All the pilots are pretty much identical. But at idle, the mains all vary according to crank acceleration or deceleration. And our +/- in Balance Rate values equals out to some X% of our above PW times. IE: 7 & 8
Reason we gotta be pretty spot on with our recorded pulse times, or ECM tries to correct based on what it last sent down the pipe...
