Seems as if they couldn't have made it any harder to install.

hey for the stalling problem try playing with the accel inrichments the tps tres holdif that do not work switch too map dot it worked better for me than the tps one. Are you running feul only

and if that does not work just make data log of it and you can e-mail it too me Dannyviss@comcast.net I will be happy too take look at it maybe I can figure it out

day 7 (3/31/07)- got it to idle pretty smooth except once in a while the accel enrichment jumps in and richenes it in for a milisecond and makes it stutter not sure why it does that i need to figure it out. cant get the cranking pulse width down right and it takes a bit to get it started. drove it for a little bit to tune it. getting the fuel tunes ok and whats actually good is that i reved it to 5000 in park where teh stock limiter is 4000 so thats cool. leaned out a bit so i need to mess with the tune. hopefully i can tune it good enough to drive by tomorrow or i will have to wire it back to stock.

tooslow- everyone keeps telling me to datalog it lol but i have no idea how, could you tell me please lol thanks

in the main screen just hit alt-L then save it where ever you want if you want too look at your log you have too down load log viewer.

ok from what it sounds like tps tres hold is too low go bassic settings- accel wizard then you will see the tps dot tres hold try bumping that up by .2 at time see if it changes any thing. too get a steady idle is very hard as afr goes since you have too do the warm up inrichments and there is no set formula it alot of trail and error

day 8 (4/1/07) - tuned the fuel a bit more. it was pretty ok while reving it in park, i actually got it to 6500 pretty easily. driving however didnt do as well. it kept leaning out and autotune wasnt doing crap about it so i had to do it manually. hd to wire it back up to stock however because i need to drive it to school tomorrow, so its back on hold

day 9 (4-10-07) - after about 6 straight hours, im finally taking a break/giving up for the day . got the care rewired up today. fired that bad boy up, and got some tuning done. ran into a few problems, but im getting around them slowly. tuned a tad, and im getting a smoothish idle. its good to drive now, i just need to be careful and not drive it hard. also switched to accel based on MAP rather than the TPS because i was getting too much noise on the line. anyway ill try again tomorrow
