I haven’t tuned a car in ages…I didn’t even have time to do my own lol, just had a local shop do it for me (xenocron)

Honestly you seem “smart enough” to do it yourself, all you need is a wideband, laptop, and some time

Thanks Toda, I have done some reading and played a little with Crome but I don’t want to spend the time learning on this car. I just want to drive it. Id really like to watch someone do it then try it myself.

I do have the base map you gave me and it seems to be doing real good, I have the wideband hooked up and I have been keeping an eye on it. Got the axle fixed and took it for a drive. Really wakes up at about 6-7K, Boost was about 9-10lbs… Still needs to get timed better and the ideal isn’t real smooth

yeah idle on big injectors was always a bitch, you gotta play with the IACV duty cycle control and also w/ the FITV on the TB/IM…it just surges from 1000-1500 right? but only sometimes…ugh so annoying!

If the car feels like its just not moving or its slow to respond, try cranking the timing up a degree or two, you should be able to feel the difference (if the fueling is right)…i know what you mean about not wanting to do it on your own car tho.

check PM

Right it surges and it is annoying… I will play around with it. It responds good…lol and Im getting use to the 4 puck, only stalled it once on a K turn!

Im not really understanding why these cars have a distributor and ECU controlled timing? I guess the only way the ECU knows where the engine is at is from the distributor, Right? I just don’t get why I have to manually turn the distributor? Do these have a mechanical advance or is that what the ECU is responsible for? Did I answer my own ???

</div>

the dizy can adv or ret the timing about 6\* +/-

this could be for stock only but:  
if you do that i beleve you need to jump the wires in the car next to the check light jumper… thiny… i think dont do it till someone else comes in and says something… or you only jump the wire if your just putting a new dizzy on at 0\* and then moving it from there …i dont know its to early this morning

edit can the surges also be a vac line leak …

Had some more bad luck, Driving down the road and the battery light comes on and I hear all this rattling, yup the altinator nut came off and my pulley got roughed up. You can see why- the nut isn’t able to grab full thread engagement. I have an idea on how to fix this!

Does any thing need to be done with these things? Can I just remove the old MAP or would that open a hole and cause a vac leak?
