LT-8 idle and starting problem
I recently upgraded my injectors to 850cc / 1200cc and also installed an Aeromotive FPR. I am trying to start my car and it sounds like it is running very rich and for some reasons sounds almost bridgeported....and that is on the verge of stalling out at idle. Can someone send me a map to get my car started so i can take it to a tuner.
Basic Setup:
Microtech LT8
850/1200cc
Aeromotive FPR
Denso 300lph Pump
Jacobs 1000
gt35/40 turbo
There may also be a wiring issue so if any of these symtops sound like a missing input to the microtech please direct.

Set your static fuel pressure to 40 PSI.
Then start the car, and just pull some fuel out of the map where it is rich. Pull fuel at idle until the engine smooths out, then drive around and pull fuel until the car is at least smoothly drivable.
It will sound bridgeported due to the rich misfires.

If your TPS is calibrated properly, go to the idle map (Functions menu). Find the location where the engine is currently trying to run, then hit "M" on the keyboard to select program mode. Use the down arrow to slowly pull fuel out of that point and a few points around it. Then hit "M" again to turn off program mode.
You could always read the Microtech manual as well.

I got in running smoother at idle, but when I try to drive it ...it hesitates real bad and comes close to stalling. Also when I jolt the gas pedal it also almost stalls. When I do anything other than pushing very...very gently on the gas it stalls out. I am assuming it is to rich. Which screen should I be adjusting for then I am try to accelerate? Once I get it so I drive it is going right to the tuner
