Default Any HPTuner Gurus Here...HELP PLEASE

That would be willing to review my tune and suggest what I might change to fix my surging idle, bucking in 1st and 2nd, dying randomly at lights, and permeating my clothes and interior with fuel smell carand P0106 code ( I have allready replaced the MAP sensor )? I am at my wits end with scanning and trying to get help on other sites. Most of the time I ask and the only response I get is "read the stickies" Well, Ive read the stickies, and downloaded the book. Still don't get it. Gonna throw in the towel soon and just pay a tuner to tune it then get rid of all the tuning software.

HELP........PLEASE

Take it to a good tuner and have him walk you thru the fix. You'll get the Vette fixed and learn at the same time.

You should never need to drill holes for tuning. Change the throttle body out, then try:

1 - Make sure STFT are near 0 or slight negative. Slight changes proportion to the STFT amounts can be made to the MAF or INJ at idle. If you changed one or both, try adjusting injectors first.
If STFT are positive, increase MAF data (at logged frequencies for idle; in 3000+ range) and/or decrease fuel inj flow rates.

2 - Try INCREASING Running Idle Airflow. This will likely give you a huge improvement.

3 - If, after your fuel trims are zero, log your MAF data, that is the data that needs to be input in the idle airflow. You will likely need to convert it from lb/min to gm/sec. Or you can increase it a few percent at a time and test.

4 - Tuning is an ongoing learning experience. Might be a good idea to let someone used to doing it do it the first time, then you can make adjustments w/your tuning setup.
