new tune, now car boggs off idle

I just got a new tune from pcm4less. and everytime I hit the gas off a idle the car boggs and wants to stall. has anyone ever had this problem? the idle was low and Bryan had me open the throttle blades up a bit to bring the idle up. but it still boggs. any suggestions on what to try? thanks Brian

My car did that last year as well - I plan on fixing it somehow this year because it really hurt me on launches.

Sounds like tip in lean condition. Getting a datalog would help out tremendously as ALWAYS.

It can be fixed but knowing what your mods are would help... most noteworthly are the injectors.

Re: new tune, now car boggs off idle

well the car has 61,000 miles on it. Hooker coated LT's, no cats, magna flow catback, vortech supercharger 6-7psi, 58mm tb, 60# injectors, th350, 4.10 gears, and a new tune from pcm4less. yeah I thought lean too. I have a a/f guage and as soon as I touch the gas the guage drops to lean as the car boggs?

Re: new tune, now car boggs off idle

What you could do is set the TPS % to enable PE mode a little lower so it kicks in with less throttle. That would throw more fuel at it off idle. But you have to be careful not to run PE mode while you are cruising so find what TPS you are at cruising and set the % to enable PE maybe 5-10% above that. Stock its set somewhere around 60% which is quite a bit.. lowering that value down to 30-40% would help out.
