So following everyones advice I zero'd my tune out... well that was a terrible idea because as soon as I did I stopped getting any help AT ALL :(

I watched the initial start up video and fuel trims video while tuning. I have gotten my air flow per rev to 25 like the vid but the car seems to be stuck in open loop no matter what. Even what I rev it and it gives a 1 value to the logged "Closed Loop" feature, it stays looking the exact same on the chart. In open loop, it says my combft is 5.1%, in closed loop its saying -29%..

Also my AFR estimates in link are 13-14:1 while my uego WBo2 is reading 10.0 flat. I can mess with the mafcomp to change what my wideband is reading but its not doing anything to my combft.

Also when it goes to closed loop (is logged and shows -1 value) my AFR estimates are 21.0.

This is driving me crazy guys, I wish I would have never messed with it... atleast I could trust the car to get me to work and school, now it has to sit until everything is safe again. I should have known that following the videos was too good to be true. His charts and my charts look nothing alike.. i cant even get the o2 to cycle. Its always pegged at 1.0v except when I hit sim narrowband, itll drop to .80v and stay there.

Sigh... wtf am I doing wrong? Ive got my parents bitching at me because I need a ride and my pride and joy is sitting out on the curb asking, "WHYYYYY?!?!?! WHY DID YOU #### WITH ME?!"

If anyone has paypal and wouldnt mind walking me through the initial start up cruise tuning ive got atleast 100$ for you.

Thanks,
Auston.

P.S. - If it will REALLY help that much, I will attempt to wire in my wideband for logging. It is in the downpipe just before the flex. Like I said its pegged at 10.0 I can get it to move to low 11's by messing with mafcomp but it does nothing to my fuel trims. Ive tried the mafcomp, globals, deadtimes, nothing is moving that thing...
 
you need to zero out your maf comp and then set a base global and deadtime for your injectors. Start it up and do a datalog and start moving your global until your o2 starts cyclying, then you can fine tune everything from there. Turn off the o2 simulation unless you are using your wideband where your o2 sensor is.
