Beginner ECMlink tuning question

[eclipse_spyder]

Just bought ECMlink v3 last year and haven't tuned the car yet. I've got the car idling. Adjusted the injectors and deadtime, swapped plugs in correct order(2g), etc... My question is what do I do next? Do I go out driving? Will it be safe? Should I not WOT? Gently drive it? Let me know, thanks.

:Assuming you have a wideband hooked up:
Yeah take it out for some low throttle cruising, i usually set my timing on the low side till I get my AFR's dialed in then bring them up to normal adjusting when necessary.

Now once you get your low throttle to where you think its satisfactory do some low/mid throttle pulls and keep your eye on the wideband. Just keep going a little more and more aggressive until you're doing WOT pulls and voila!

Your next step would be to post a current idle log so others can review your "acceptable" idle. Otherwise a cruise tune would be next.

If you have you idle all set, make sure your wideband is hooked up. Go for a simple cruise around town with some normal driving and cature a log, after you save your log right click on the datalog and go to maf comp, it'll give you sugestions on where to tune your maf. Just make sure not to have any spikes in your graph and keep an eye on your wideband.
