Before I start, I have searched extensively (other forums, ECMLINK WIKI/Videos/Forums for the last 2 days) and am at my wits' end. Posting it here cae I am still a "Probationary Member"

So I had my car running fine until i developed a massive oil leak last fall. Garaged the car for winter, replaced my front case and solved the various other oil leaks. I let a friend borrow the Link since I really had no need for it at the time anyways. He has a ridiculous setup with 1150's, was running SD, and a number of other things not worth mentioning. So I got my link back and did my best to reconfigure the settings for my setup. Now the car won't stay running (high/super choppy idle, just won't stay running). Car is mostly stock as far as tuning would be concerned (stock injectors, cams, 2g MAF, 1G CAS properly hooked up, 1G Throttle body with 2G TPS properly adjusted, etc.) just bolt ons (exhaust, 16g, FMIC...) .

I would post a log, but I am not sure it would do any good as the car needs quite a bit of throttle just to keep it running, and i just don't think the logs would prove very reliable/helpful/useful. I reset the MAF comp/clamp settings, fuel and timing tables, disabled all SD operations, changed to Non 95-96 CAS, etc, etc. My question is: What am I missing?????? Am I missing something as far as what i should have "ON" or certain boxes checked?
 
I did the swap last year and had it running with the link. I let someone use the link while I replaced the front case and installed my FMIC and DP. Got the link back and cant get the car to run...
 
Anybody? I should note that I have already inverted the spark plug wires...

Thanks Solace.
 
Did you save a file with all your old stuff you used before you let him borrow it? It seems like the current tune you had on the car with the oil leaks would stay the same and run the same! You didn't change anything that would affect the tune.

No, but God I wish I had. My thoughts were the same, that I hadn't changed anything that were going to have any effect. Since I bought the link from the friend that used it, and made it run the first time I thought I would be able to get it started again. Admittedly, I am a tuning n00b and didn't know about the save feature :banghead:
