Ok. So I've gotten everything installed and have been running the HHO device for about 3 weeks now.
First few runs:
Well, I didn't read all the way through the paperwork and learned the hard way that you are supposed to program your EFIE device to dial back the fuel misture. Duh! So I had Factory settings and the first half of the tank was great, the second half sucked because the car's computer was going retard.
So, thanks to Astrocady, who has been a great bit of advise throughout - thank you again by the way sir - I have now leaned out my fuel.
Second batch of runs:
SO I dialed back the pot from factory .451 to .090, and the engine light eventually came on (like half way through the tank).
Note: The instructions say to dial it back into the the .250 - .350 range WHILE at the same time dialing it back as far as possible until the engine light doesn't come on, AND the green LED light stays blinking (solid is bad and not on at all is bad).
SO, I have been able to dial it back to .090 with the engine not changing idle and the green LED still blinking. But the engine light came on half way through the tank.
So now I'm at .100 and the engine light came on later through the tank of gas as well. So now I'm at .105.... and I've noticed throughout all of this the following:
I have to fill up my bubbler almost every other time I drive anywhere - mostly my driving consists of short 5 mile trips and once per week a 100 mile round trip. So during the long drive, near the end of my trip, I notice the amps have left my range of 11.9-12.2 and dropped down to 7-10 amps (it varies) and the Duty Cycle is at 100%.
I'm assuming this is because the device is heating up, burning off some of the water, and viola! I need to add water and a touch more Koh.
I'm using a Smack's design (water filter canister with an 8 plate system)
I've also noticed up near the air filter box, a white stain as if the koh laced water is making its way up to that point and dripping out of the air box.
My questions are these:
1) Should I install a second bubbler instead of a flash back arrestor?
2) Should I have some type of one way valve to curtail any water going too far up the hho tube to the air intake? I'm relatively certain my water loss is due to this issue alone and no other leaks anyway.
3) Is my setting range of .105 wayyyyy too low? Should I be in the .250-.350 range no matter what?
4) And what IS the freezing point of liquid nitrogen on the surface of Pluto during the winter solstice?
lol
Thanks in advance for all your help.
