2011 C6 Base Procharged Idle Surge
I have a 2011 C6 Base 6.2 supercharged (ECS1500SL)
Long Tubes
X-Pipe
stock cam to my knowledge
3 bar Bosch map sensor
speed density tune
I don't know what injectors it has in it
I'm having issues with it idling properly, it surges anywhere from 1,000 rpm to 200 rpm and sometimes dies, i can tap the gas pedal and it levels out the idle and idles fine for about 10 seconds and goes back to surging. While driving the car it will also sometimes buck and or cutout. Ive checked for vacuum leaks and so far haven't come across any, I'm thinking it can possibly be an issue with the tune.
It seems to be a common problem with either the kit or these cars from what I've read. I'm just looking to get a bit better insight. I'm new to the game so hoping to get some information that can help.

Well two things, one, it is definitely not a problem with ECS kits or these cars, you have a tuning problem which I will be happy to try and help you with, and two, you DO NOT OWN A PROCHARGER!! Sorry for shouting but it's a pet peeve of mine. I almost didn't go into this post because you labeled it incorrectly. Procharger is a brand name, you own a centrifugal supercharger made by ECS with a Paxton head unit. Not a single component of it is made or supplied by PC, nor will it ever be. (we have standards )
Do you have tuning software?

OK OK that's my bad i fixed the issue, ill make sure it doesn't happen again hahaha
I personally do not, but i have a buddy who has HP Tuners software. I plan on running a data log today.

If you would like to send us a log and your file I'll be happy to try and help you out. I do not offer remote tuning because I am not available enough to do it in a timely manor, but I'll do my best.
