Re: '747 top end fuel leanout

["nacelp" <nacelp@bright.net>]

I've looked thru all the calibration stuff I have and don't see a reason
there, You sure about all the sensors?.  ie, TPS settings, CTS, MAP?.
I have seen a improper set TPS screw up WOT, without setting a code.
  When it this start?.
  Might try a different prom, or reburing your cals, on a different BCC.
Running out options here
