Little back story. I received this car as a shell and a bunch of boxes. Had the motor built and just finished getting her together. I fired it up for the first time and it idle like crap. This is my first time building a dsm and tuning. I have the base fuel pressure set to 38-39. I did it with the car off and fuel pump running with link. I set the base timing to 5 degrees btdc with the maf unplugged because that was the only way i could get it to idle. It idles and revs well to about 4k with the maf unplugged but will only run for a few seconds with it plugged in. Im not sure if i have a bad maf or what but everything else looks good. I have attached a short log of the car running with the maf plugged in. Any help or advice would be wonderful. I live in Florida right now and i have to tow the car up to Ohio Friday because im separating from the military. Im trying to have this figured out by then so i can start cruise logs and tuning before the dsm meet in Norwalk. I think i might have a bad maf but not sure. I know i need a wideband but have no way of getting one and installing before then. Mods are in profile. Also its 93 octane. Thanks
