Thumbs down Crappy idle under 1000 rpm

G'day,

Ive got a series 4 turbo with a Microtech lt-8s taking control of things, ive had everyone look at it and i still can't get the thing to idle properly, ive just aquired my own dongle so i can talk to the computer, is there any guidelines to what the load map settings should and maybe the timing ? And just to let you know the top is buzzing along fine, (managed to squeeze 140kw on a standard setup) it's just pissing me off when trying to do the small maneuvres, like reversing, that youve really gotta keep your accelerator and brake working...... any ideas would be great!

Doh!

just had the engine pulled apart and found that 2 out of three seals were broken on the front rotor, we will see if the idle has been fixed when i get it put back together....

thanks for the replies!
