Actually it is kind of the opposite as a result.
I would say the numbers............... as close to zero, are the wanted result for deviation.
You may see even more improvement running at idle.......... if swapping currently 1 and 2, to get the balance closer.
You still want to factor in the offset for 1 and 4 piston being at TDC when 2 and 3 are at BDC......
I am aware 0 is the deviation I want in an ideal world... But from the research I have done on the web together with feedback here, positive deviation could point to an issue with that respective cylinder (perhaps valve seal leakage/compression or piston leak). I don't think it's this on the basis that I am getting great MPG and absolutely no smoke at the back cold/warm etc. And when the car is moving, it pulls really well with no lag. I know the takes out a load of smoke but surely if there was a leak and oil/unburnt fuel was getting in to the exhaust system I'd see something at the back end.
I will probably have a go in swapping 1 and 2 to see if anything happens but that will be a job for next week.
Based on what you have previously said, I am aware 1 is compensating for 4 and 2 is compensating for 3. But in this latest case 2 is not balancing out 3. Still, I have one surplus injector which I pulled out previously (that I don't know is faulty) that I could start changing with the other 3. Only issue being I don't honestly know if any injector is faulty as the readings are getting inconsistent now with what I have had in the past.
First it was deviation on cylinder 3 that was way out (even though in spec). I have since replaced injector 3 and cylinder 3 deviation was still around +2.8, then I swapped injector 3 and 4 in case the replacement injector was faulty and the big deviation stayed on 3, now I check it today and it's 1 and 2 that are in positive deviation.
I am chasing the deviation. If only I could just swap all 4 for little expense for a test to see if that did anything... At least the car is continuing to run, this could take a while
Can someone please check my adaptation values input convention are right, as I see there are injectors with 7 characters and injectors with 6 characters stamped on them. Mine have 6 characters stamped on them and I recall seeing a zero (0) at the end of each of my original values in adaptation.
Example:
Injector 1 Correction Value: BJHHKD0
Stamp on Injector is BJHHKD.
I am just checking they are not screwed up values as I was following this convention in engine>adaptation when swapping injectors.
