I am having an issue getting my Talon Awd to idle correctly. Long story short, I bought this car from a teenager and it was all jacked up (use 2 have SAFC n bs parts.)Here are the current Mods, Big 16G, 560’s, rewired 255,FPR,VRSF fmic, intake pipe(unknown), v3 dsmlink, mbc, yellow top battery, aftermarket Spectra cone filter, hks style bov(spa style revented-for now),mbc,93 octane, boost gauge, afr gauge, 3”down pipe-3”exhaust (no Cat).
I cannot get this car to idle worth a shxt. It keeps bogging out regardless of what I do. I have looked at as many tutorials and videos as possible (unless I missed some). Please look at this log and offer any advice please. Thank you in advance.

Have you done everything in this list?

Why are your MAF Comp values for idle around the -45%+ range? These should never need to be adjusted that far. Return them all to 0% and grab another log with the coolant temp being up above operating temp (180°+).

I did everything on that link first.
The maf comp values were raised (or lower depending how you view it)because I was trying to get the Mafraw values on the log closer to what they were suppose to be. But I will take your advice and repost.

The coolant temp was so low because I am afraid to run it for so long with the a/f ratio and bad tune.

as far as the other post.. Did I set up my Wideband o2 wrong for dsmlink?

MAF Raw values are what they are. The only way they're changed is putting more air into the engine.

You don't have it setup properly for narrowband sim.
 
Thanks again and in the morning ill post a log and fix the issues. Thanks!!

I have a LC1 WB in front o2 location, how would I setup the narrowband sim properly?

New log after I zeroed it out on adj % in maf comp tab

snowborder714-yes it was really cold.
c2ypt1c-fixed the 02 issue

Thanks a lot guys and I will post a new log again(tomorrow evening) with both your advice.
 
finally posting another log.Sorry family issues.

02 is cycling but the car keeps dying within a min or two running.
I heard some weird noises and not sure what it was but it keeps starting back up every time I retry, it just doesn't stay running for more then two mins.

I'm betting it has something to do with your alternator (p1500 code)...

Also, disregard the o2 code. You can uncheck cat efficiency/o2 and clear it.
