    Car dies when it idles down

    I need a little tuning help on what table would need to be adjusted to help with the idling down of the car. If i make a pull and then let off it will die when the RPMS drop, even if i just slow down to stop it will die. What table would i need to adjust to help compensate for this so that the car doesn't die?? Thanks

    im having the same promblem some what on my turbo 3800. I was told it could be the air back flowing and being read twice by the maf. I havent done it yet but need to get the maf tunned closer and up the idle speed a bit.

    I will go ahead and flash the other tune on the car and take it for a spin around the block and post it up this afternoon.

    I did also notice that the decel enleanment on both tunes was the same.

    A couple things I noticed...

    Your MAP sensor looks like its dead

    Your fuel trims are all over the place

    I noticed the fuel trims, and i am assuming that the O2 sensor needs to be replaced. It levels out perfectly during WOT, but under cruising and idling it fluxuates a lot. The MAP sensor i just replaced, so i will double check that the plug is securely connected.

    Attached are the DTC's that it threw. the Rear 02 code was thrown, but the car has one of the old 02 sims in the rear and i thought that the code was turned off, but i guess not.

    Keep in mind with the other codes that the car just had the A/C and ABS deleted. But it also shows a low voltage from the MAP sensor, so i will swap it back to the old sensor to see if it fixes the problem.

    How did you arrive at the values in your IFR table?

    You might want to start a new tune from scratch to get all the kinks worked out...sometimes things get out of whack

    Def. not going to start from scratch, been there, dont that several times so far. The tune the does not die and idles fine, the injector values and such are completely messed up, but the car runs....the one where it dies, the car runs PERFECT except for it dieing, which just started last week randomly and it has never dont that before.

    Just because it runs, doesn't mean it runs well. The stalling problem is probably a combination of all these little things. The IFR you gotta get right...

    Hope you get everything ironed out...I look forward to seeing what that beast will do

    Use the compare function in this software, that'll point you in the right direction.
    10 lb/hr? 16* flat in the HiOc? Seriously?
