Will not idle. 20b

Well, I have been fighting this problem for a day or two now and being the inexperianced guy for tuning, its time to ask.
Heres the situation:
Turn key, catches at 350rpms and jumpes to 500, then dies. If you turn the key, put your foot down, around 25% on the TPS it will idle at 800rpms. I have tripple checked the timing, re calibrated the TPS (yes the asteric is there) and today tried to adjust the screw on the TB to adjust idle, well that works for a 550rpm idle that will die off.
Theres no vacume leaks, all the wiring is good, adjustment to the IDLE screen does nothing. Im lost??

Any ideas?

Also about 1/3 throttle, it showes 99% on the TPS, is this correct? Im pretty sure it is.

Car runs fine, if I stomp on it, it bogs like hell, but the turbos are not connected, so I am assuming its dumping fuel? But it pulls great through all the gears.

You might have the tps wired wrong.. IIRC the 3rotor s6 and s5 are all full range tps. Rewire till you have the tps read in a linear form. O Btwwhile its in idle, you need to look at the bottom of the screen and itll tell you what map it is running. If you see something other than idle map then you are not gunna notice anydifference while adjusting the map. And if you car is indeed idling and the software says something other than "idle" then you need to change or check your settings.

S5's have two tps, a short range and a full range so make sure that you are wiring the correct one.

When I can get it to idle, it reads the idle map, otherwise its pulling the load map, like it should. I will try re wiring the TPS Thanks!
