THe plugs tell me im running very rich, and the idel is very rough, maybe I foued the plugs? Im using DIY autotunes PMP after start enrich charts, and I have 305cc injectors. What should I do to get it idleing smooth?

ok, I loaded in the whole DIY autotunes Megatunes settings, and set the req fuel like you said. It still runs like ****, barley idles, if at all. the plugs got black again quick, and smell of gas. The oil looks fine, everything looks fine. im at a loss of what to do..

oh thank you god! I plugged the stock computer and AFM in and it runs like a charm.. oh man I was scared I blew the engine.. OK so its definitly something in MS.. what should I check?
looks like you need to give it less fuel. try running tuning your req fuel until it idles smoothly and then retune your ve map. try starting with 11.5-12 in req fuel and go from there. change values by .3 in either direction and see what it likes better
You should be using a PCpro if you can't handle removing fuel from your fuel table. Then again, you would still be dealing with cylinder wash with the PC if Tom tuned it anyway.
Did you figure out how to remove fuel from your VE table yet?

For some reason it seems like takeing fuel from the points around idle dont make a diffrence.. maybe I have to take out more? I took about 7 to 10 away from DIY autotunes map...
Your signature says you have 460cc injectors and your post said 305cc, which is it?
I find that 1 point of VE will change my A/Fs around .3 AFR on stock injectors, that amount of change will increase with the size of the injectors.

If changing your fuel has not done much, I'd also check your timing with the MS installed since it's a new install to make sure that when MS thinks it's 10 BTDC, the engine markings say the same.
