Default installed 4 bar in mspnp, car idles, doesnt run under load

Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my new 4 bar. Installed it just like the site said, changed all the settings, car starts and idles great, when I put it in gear and put any load on the engine, it stalls out. It fires right back up and idles fine. It seems to cut out the fuel under and type of load. All my tables look normal. Any ideas? Its a 91 mspnp ms1 version 029. Thanks

The only thing I can think is that you didn't change a setting, but even still it should run without problems.

did you turn barometric correction on? did you install the little capacitor?

did you make sure the corrections were within 90-100kPa and not the full spectrum?

Not sure about that part. When I switched it to 400kpa it kept my tables the same buy just added fuel above 256kpa.

Might be the issue; there's a setting to put the range in which you need barometric corrections. Sea level should be 100kPa give or take and then when you go up into mountains it'll drop to 90Kpa or so (not quite sure what reading you get that high). So the range to input should be around 90-100kPa. I've seen some maps that have the scale set to 20-255kPa, which pretty much kills your tune because it's over-correcting like whoa.

Braineak is an understatement. I think i have a man crush on you! You were right, I changed to boro limits from 36-376kpa to 90-100kpa and the car runs perfect. Thanks for the help! I owe you a cold one when im in VA, if i ever go there lol.
