Default Mapping experts? Car won't idle..

Anyone any ideas? I've messed around with the screw on top of the bodies still won't idle. Does for a couple of seconds then just dies...

What is your idle ignition timing set to?
Have you checked that you are getting in reality, what it says in the map?
What AFR is it on idle?

No AFR meter to hand - just trying to get it idling so it can be driven to mappers.

It's a new spec engine - car revs up OK using same injectors as in original map just won't keep idle very long..

I highly recommend you get it trailered to the mappers if you don't have a wideband on hand...

Trailering won't get it run in!

I'm not touching the map - just getting it to idle.

Right had a play with the TPS seems to idle now.

Thank you!

I would trailer it there, and run it in on the rollers if you dont have a wideband, otherwise when you get there, you may still have to run your engine in, but after a rebuild first

How are you going to tweak it without a wideband?

or will you have one for that, in which the advice above which is "if you dont have a wideband" is obviously not relevant.


hope it goes well for you.
