Car Stalling When in Reverse or Drive
I've recently converted to EFI with the MS 3.57 and using Tuner Studio. I'm trying to do the fine tuning. Overall the car seems to be running well. I have an automatic. Occasionally when I change from "Park" to either "Reverse" or "Drive" the car will stall. I can start the car back up but it will continue to stall when I try to move it to Reverse or Drive. It's normal for RPMs to drop as a load gets on the engine. Where do I go in Tuner Studio to adjust for this? It doesn't seem to matter whether the car is cold or hot when it happens.

what are you using for idle control?

Re: Car Stalling When in Reverse or Drive
I'm still having the issue. This is a 3.57 board. THE IAC is a GM stopper motor. THere is no TPS. Would turning on the idle advance setting in TS help? I've attached a log file and the tune.

Here is tune.
Re: Car Stalling When in Reverse or Drive
I have set my idle air controller to closed loop. I'm trying to set the closed loop idle PIP setting. Normal idle is about 900 RPM. Could someone look at my current tune and let me know whether you think the settings are correct? Also the closed loop idle target RPM looks steep to me. Should I flatten this?
Re: Car Stalling When in Reverse or Drive
I'm running the closed loop. When I start the car it runs for a few seconds then acts like it wants to die. It sound like MY warm up enrichment needs to be adjusted. Then when I put it in reverse, the rpm drop and the car dies. If I start it again, and put it in reverse, the rpm will drop but not enough to cause the engine to die. I've attached my current tune and a datalog. What do I need to change?
