Welcome to the forum 427.
Start with the Autove tutorial & the idle tutorial on this forum. That should get you in a position to start. After that there are many people on this forum who can get you pointed in the right direction.

You'll need to get a wideband and hook it up to efi live. Once you do that...things will start to make sense. I'd suggest the LM-1 if you don't already have it. It'll show a read out of the AFR on the handheld unit so you can compare it to what ur seeing in efi live. That's a very important piece of info.

thats cool- i got a couple of jobs coming up soon- but i have been honest with myself and the customers to say i now nothing about the tunning process-
they are willing to wait and so am i until i get all the efi tools and more info and then get comfy-
it cant be that hard-with a lot of info and help-
thanks guys-really grateful-

i have been hooked for a while- i have done engines-organised parts- but yet to tune-
that to me would be the whole package-
got the o2 kit today-so just waiting on the efi live kit-i will muck with my car before i do others-at least if something happens it happens to me-

You're right Mick....sink or swim! Lol!
Unfortunately...I have no choice and it's been around a year...actually longer (started with JET :rolleyes: ) and I still feel like a fish out of water! :Eyecrazy:
Only thanks to all you guys I'm getting somewhere. :cheers:

Welcome to the forum 427!
If you can't wait for you gear to show up, you can download the EFILive software here (http://www.efilive.com/download.aspx) and start getting familiar with it.
The content found in the help menus contain a lot of great info to get you going with the software, as well as tutorials to help get you started tuning.
Are you getting a V1 or V2?
