Car bogs on take off and dies E6k

Well I just got this somnabitch going.

It idled fine for about 15mins but was doing so at about 1400RPM.

I was looking for the adjustment to trim idle but could not find it on the program.

So, I drove it about 2 miles and at a stop light it just dies. I get it started and it then begans to bog and will die unless I take it up about 4.5K RPM.

How can I adjust idle on the e6k screen?

And how do I remove fuel from idle?

Thanks

basically just use the fuel map, turn the idle down to where you want then make adjustments, also check the timing at where the car is idling. you also want to check your coolant map at operating temp 170 and up. hope it helps i'm not a haltech genius i had it in my car, removed and installed Wolf3D.

Yeah, sounds like the fuel map needs to be adjusted...

Just play with the main fuel map, and you should be good.

(The other option is to run the ZERO THROTTLE map, but we should leave that as a last resort at this point.)

Get the car to idle at the lowest RPM possible and start adjusting it.
You should be able to slowly adjust the map right under your idling RPM and drop the RPM's as you adjust them one by one.

Thanks Ted I will give that a try, and report back.

Okay, I I brought the idle down to about 1K. But know it is hunting from 1K to about 1.2K. What can I do to clean up the hunting?



I also noticed in this same fuel map, values are pretty high right below idle. The haltech is set not to disable fuel on decel, my guess is this is what is causing it to flood out and die when I get to a stop? Is this likely? Should I enable the fuel cut on decel?


Also, the TPS is showing "Fault" with no number in there. I calibrated the throttle but still nothing, any ideas on how to adress this?

(EDIT: I enabled this feature below 2K. I will take it for test drive and see if it fixes anything)

If it's cycling (what you call "hunting"), that means it's bouncing between two or more "cells".
Since you're using the ZERO THROTTLE map, adjust the bars to the left and right to be equal (or at least very close) to the middle bar that the engine likes to idle on.

The same can be said for the main fuel map, if you don't use the ZERO THROTTLE map...
Adjust the left and right bars *AND* adjust one RPM level down and one RPM level up.

By keeping the adjoining cells all about the same, the engine tends to be more stable at idle.
