Re: almost there
This log seems to be with the engine just idling and you blipping the throttle. Is that where the problem occurs?
what sort of set up do you have?
ITB's or individual port injection needs very little acceleration enrichment.
I had a similar problem with the engine dying when opening the throttle and I cured it by backing off the AE so that the range was only from 1.5% minimum to 3% maximum.

Re: almost there
Single throttle body or ITB?
Port injection or single point injection?

Hi... the engines from a range rover (hotwire system) single plenum 8 injectors, each has it own injection port but shares the air from the plenum....hope this helps.....thanks

Re: almost there

Re: almost there
OK. So its similar to mine in principle then. Single throttle body with individual port injection.
The advice I was given, which worked for me, was to back off the acceleration enrichment as there's no fuel drop out with port injection so you need a lot less acceleration enrichment than you would with a carb and long inlet port runners.

Re: almost there
A couple of things seem to be set wrong in your tune.
Under ignition options the dwell for EDIS 8 should be set to fixed.
Under barometric correction if I am not mistaken, correction should be set to 100 with 3.4.0 firmware or turn Old baro calc on (someone correct me if I am wrong).
One other thing that looks odd to me under general settings is MegaView Temp Units is set to fer. but everything is in cel.
Can someone shed some light on this?

Re: almost there
That is one of the things along with baro calc that has to be reset going from 2.1.0 to 3.4.0 firmware.yaksarunner wrote:thanks for the reply...I've looked at an old megatune file 2008 and it was set at fixed duty...don't know how that changed? will alter when I get home...thanks

Re: almost there
Did you also set your baro calc correctly?
Can you post an updated msq and data log of the problem?

Re: almost there
Have you driven the car or are you getting it ready to?
Your timing in the lower kpa seems a little retarded.
Save your tune and maybe try 800 rpm=12 1100 rpm=14 change 1200 to 1300=16 deg.
I think this will help a little with throttle response.
