Retard with no knowledge

I have been up for the past 48 hours Straight reading, Trying to understand my MS PNP2 and how to tune it properley after installing the base tune provided. I've come to the realize that after all the research Im just a full blown retard with no understanding what so ever of cars. Someone please help me. my AFR usually in (14.8-16) is so high sometime it just goes full lean and my idles a little rough. Also when I try to drive from a stop I feel the car want to stall unless i really push on the gas. My biggest problem is not understanding whats going on and what inputs I can make to have changes I could reflect on

I am also running everything Completely stock other then AEM wideband and NGK spark plug wires, started on 85, then put 91 in hope of improvement, but actually felt like the idle went rough. I have a turbo sitting but Im looking to get my car in a Daily drivable condition and understand what I'm doing to get it there as well. If anyone could just point me in the right direction is what I'm asking really. Im looking in all the wrong places

With MS issues, always post your tune and a log of the issues if you want anything more than vague answers

Welcome to tuning. That feeling just gets worse the more you learn.

So for one, please everyone shame me so I never make a wasteful post ever again! I figured out the issue...... With continuous research and help with the fellow responses I had changed the tune slightly to where it ran fine. My friend had helped me with the VE table later that night. My biggest issue was that my o2 sensor was bad and I didn’t realize it till later that night! So that really threw me off a bit, but after my friends magic it drove a lot better! If anything just a little rich. So here I am today replacing the bad sensor and what do you know, gauge is moving and grooving!!! Whole time I thought it was my wiring, calibrated and follow the step in the video above. And what do you know!

it drives great know! Still need to purchase more sensors and what not but again thank you all for the support!!!

Glad you for that part figured. The initial start up is usually the most frustrating. It took me a week, 10 emails and 3 pages of posting, to get mine fired up. This place is good.
