Hi Adam thanks for the reply again. I've had some success... I feel stupid, was rushing a little and overlooked some things so I'll go through and list them for anyone who has similar problems and stumbles across this thread. I hate when people have problems and say "I fixed it" and thats it haha. - Something I forgot to fix before this thread was fuel pressure. I was "maxed out" on my Tomei reg and only running about 31psi... So I unscrewed the adjuster, removed the lock nut and wound it back in, bottoming it out. Now I had 115psi. So not sure if the thread isn't long enough or what... but anyway it's back to 42-43psi now without the locknut. Problem fixed. - As mentioned before, I had a faulty MAP sensor. I then changed this which gave me correct MAP settings on PCLink but wouldn't fluctuate. Measured voltage at plug with ignition on and had 0.3V. TPS runs from same line and had 2.6V. Jumped a new wire across which now gives me 5V. Problem fixed. - I took Adams advice and updated the firmware... I was at about 5.1.1 instead of 5.6.6! This didn't fix any issues but good to do! - I then went on with idle control as per Adams advice... adjusting it up all the way to 100% open and no change. Sounds like something wrong with the valve... Checked the voltage at the plug which was all good... I had correct earth... so I pulled it off and jumped the solenoid... this all worked. Now the funny part... I'd blocked off the port that usually runs from the AAC to the intake piping (this is a motor transplant)... yep it's always something tiny like that. Cleaned the valve, chucked it back on with this port open to atmo, fired it up with master fuel at 15ms and a little increase to the AAC% open and bang... we have idle and revs. Appreciate the help you've given me Adam... it made me step back and work a little more methodically. I'm sure I'll have more questions soon! Cheers, Chris

Geez didn't even notice those AFRs. I went to 15ms on the master fuel which brought me to around 12.5 AFR, same problem though. It did struggle and idle for about 10 seconds though. I set the base timing to 15 BTDC. Thanks for the swift reply!

Hi there. I've built a RB30DET using a 25 r33 top end. I've wired into a G4+ Xtreme and had a few issues... some i've sorted too. Map broken, map and tps not getting 5V (dodgy wire), some CAS troubles etc. So the MAP now reads correctly and works, triggers work etc. I can't get it to sit at idle though... before I fixed the MAP problem, it was showing 0kpa MGP, and was starting within a couple of crank... it wouldn't quite idle but I could keep it alive easily with throttle and it was quite smooth. Since I've fixed the MAP, it takes about 3 times longer to crank over and start it, and when I try for a little throttle it will stall. A fair chunk of throttle will hesitate it and bring the revs up, but inevitably it'll stall. Not sure if this info is needed but there it is anyway. Just wondering if there are any ideas out there on what could be wrong now... I'm a little lost. I'll upload my map and the log I took... started twice, first without throttle second trying to keep it alive. Any help is much appreciated! Cheers RB2530.pclr Log 2018-06-13 5%3b01%3b31 pm.llg

Hi Scott. Yeah the Stepper Reset is set to off. I do believe I found the problem I was having though. Starter step up was preset back to 150 when I downloaded the latest version, which lasts 3 seconds at startup. Sounds like that's it! Never had the problem previously, but makes sense now. I'll have a look over there for sure. I have fiddled with fuel and spark tonight, maps look a lot better now. Also realised I haven't set the base timing properly, which is definitely needed! Few things to try, will post at the next hurdle :). Thanks for the reply.

Hi there. Just starting out learning to tune, and need a little help if possible. I'm running single turbo, 1000cc bosch injectors and ls1 coils. I've set the dwell up for the coils. Running the base file, it seems a long way off running decently, as expected though. At startup, it's holding revs at about 3000rpm for 5 seconds. I turn off the post start hold time but that doesn't seem to change it. Where is the easiest place to start with the tuning? I presume I turn off all of the warm up enrichment etc first, as mentioned in your pclink tutorial, then play with the fuel and ignition there? I would throw it at a shop to do, but I'd prefer to learn myself and get a better understanding. Thanks
