Any possibility the t/b or tps out of whack?
I have my original tb with a small hold drilled in the blade, electronics still attached. If you want I could ship (loan) it to you, very easy to swap on and check.
Let me know...

You're right. But, and this is a big but, first you have to be able to PROPERLY DIAGNOSE a car before any tuning.
About 50% of our work is stuff other people, both DIYers and other shops have built, or repaired, or tried to repair and couldnt.
I hear and see all the time about peeps buying HPT or EFI live or whatever, and BAM, they're a tuner. My programming software, and I have alot of it, costs a fraction of what I have invested in diagnostic equipment. I am a diagnostic specialist first. I solve problems. I have alot of customers come in for "tuning" because they have driveability problems. One as recently as yesterday. His problems could not be "cured" by tuning. It had a real problem. It takes an expert, with years of experience to differentiate between electrical/mechanical problems and PCM configuration issues.
AND, BTW, there is nothing easy about tuning. Try making a 240 something duration cam idle nice, not surge, or stall, etc. Then get back to me and tell me how easy it is. Anyone can learn to tune, but it aint easy.
