can i trick my car into working right

[da kang3]

my question is, if im having stall problems when coming to a stop, if i get an safc and tune it to where there is more air or fuel being thrown into the engine at low rpm's, say to stop rpm's, would that keep it from stalling out everytime i stop. and which would i need to adjust if im running super rich?

Don't get an SAFC to try to cure your problems. Find out what is causing your car to stall and fix it. Run a search on the stalling issue and see if you can't run some tests. If you can, post up some more info on the issue. Does your car idle funny all the time, when you come to a stop, when you depress the clutch, does your idle surge, etc. Stalling is a broad issue, so you need to help us to help you by providing us with as much info as possible.

BTW, no. You can't trick a DSM into working right... They're too smart for that...

You can only beat them into it

Just by chance, are you venting your bov? If so, recirculate it like it is supposed to be and your stalling problem will get better or go away all together.

Your best bet is that you have some sort of a boost/vaccum leak. I actually think DSMpride at one time had a massive vaccum leak and was able to trick it into running right by having 16 to 20% positive correction on his AFC. But that was a while ago and now his car is running right obviously.
