so Been at this for about 2 days now. and well Im giving in and going to have to ask for someone to review this for me. maybe im missing something simple.

basically this is the BEST quality Idle I can get after messing with it for 2 days.


mods:
all stock except.
fic 950cc
stock 43 psi fpr
e85

^^ dont have stockers


basically this is a smog tune. (i need to smog it before all the mods that I have waiting goes on the car)

its also the first time I tuned with ecmlink so I figure stock would be a good practice. but thats not really working out LOL


anyways engine has recently been rebuilt and new gasket all around. swapped isc and tps which didnt do anything. so its neither of those for sure.
timing was verified more than 3 times at 5*

inputs please thanks

1. Why are you targeting 13.6-13.8 AFR at idle? Your DA fuel tables are all out of whack and really need to be fixed, mainly in the idle/cruise areas.

2. You've got to have another issue to require that much MAF Comp adjustment on a stock MAS at idle.

3. Do you know you have a knock sensor DTC code being thrown? Address that ASAP.

will be datalogging with those again tomorrow after work. i thought i captured all thats needed but when i checked again im missing a few. figured id post anyways to see if i can get some info and do a quick tune tomorrow of things suggested and relog.


1. what is DA? i looked all over ecmlink and google LOL. im assuming its the timing max octain? I have not messed with those at all. but I got this used. hmm i guess ill be resetting everything first before I move any further. will look for the reset method in today or tom./asap.
and was not my intention. the only way I can get the car to idle somewhat steady is with this "tune".

2. Yea this was my thought. Im thinking its my afm. currently searching right now on checking it.

3. yea well aware of that code. Thanks. I actually in the middle of buying one/replacement. but since I got a new clutch installed I wont be boosting for another 500 miles. so I was in no rush so to speak and I didnt think its really needed to tune idle/cruise.

4 and 5.

will re-log tomorrow. with updated values as I stated earlier.
 
DA = direct access. I'm referring to your Max/Min Octane fuel tables. I'd suggest just going into the direct access and resetting all tables to stock. You can see which aren't stock as their name is bold. Then just click the black double arrow on the top to reset to factory and save to ECU.

Oh ok that's what it is. Thanks.

Yea I actually found that "reset arrow" thing and basically reset everything.
Car still idled bad and was doing the static idle again.

Took off the maf plug and it idled like crap but steadish rpm.

Will be putting this thread on hold till I get my maf and knock sensor. Should be here in acouple of days.

Will update then
