Kind of points to the start up map on the PFC then.
If the stock ECU allows it to start but the PFC will not then it's your map.

I let the Tuners do the Tuning..I stick with wrenches.

If you find the "golden BB" of a tuning MAP site then you'd be the talk of London.

I know guys love to make money so for that fact they have there are those that Pay or get paid for any maps.

Personally I have been asked to "give a map out" but Hell!, I PAID for a tuner to come and tune my car.I am NOT giving away anything!
I wish you luck though.

....and more importantly, each car needs a different map even with the same mods it all depends on multiple factors that can be logged and understood by a pro rotary tuner... that's your best bet

It's expensive but your car will run best that way

edit: if you turn on acc, and have the PFC commander there's some way you can reset the map... try to navigate the commander or search how to reset it on the internet because any map on your PFC won't fit your car!!!! (it won't even start lol!)
If you run twin turbos non sequential, you will also need to modify that parameter before proceding to the startup tune... it's accessible through the commander's menus
Once you restart it, there's an easy procedure to let the pfc learn your car and idle, the procedure can be found on the forum just scroll through the FAQ and find PFC startup tune FAQ.

Keep in mind that this basic startup tune will only let you use your car for low-end driving... please don't run it higher than 3-4k rpm until you haven't got it tuned, especially if you've got multiple performance mods!!!
