    Default Willing to Pay for Tuning Help

    I've been dicking around with this BS for 2 months.

    I see people advertise for mail order tunes, what would be the difference from taking my log file and tuing file and getting em dialed in using my efi live and lc-1. The only thing I can thik of is that it would be easier.

    I've begged and pleeded for help. I'm not UNICEF. I can reimburse someone if they can produce results in a timely fashion. I do not expect it to take longer than a day and the faster you get my car running the faster you make $$ AND MOVE ON!

    I've gotten my afr worked out at wot by adjusting the maf, but there's bucking, surging at different places from 2000 rpm and down. There's no sustainable idle and it swings wildly like a POS lawn mower Basically the drivability sucks.

    THis is the way I imagened it working when I bought efi live:

    -I send you my tun and log file.
    -You send me a tune to load and log.
    -I send you back the log with any observations.
    -You make any adjustments nescessar and send me a tune to load and/or talk me through the adjustments to make.
    -Repeat untill car is tuned.

    Can anyone help me?

    Ray,

    Try contacting some tuners... here is a partial list of some that come to mind (in no particular order):

    - Wait4Me (Jesse)
    - Green Light Motorsports (Chad)
    - DC_Justin (Black Bear Performance)
    - Redline Motorsports (Howard)
    - Doc and EuroSpec1 (EFI Alchemy)

    and there are various others...

    Most of those will tune-by-email for you... some of them will require your car to run it on their dyno.

    You're right... this forum is aimed at the tools and the audience is mostly DIY'ers, and I do aplogize.

    Cheers,
    Joe

    NOTHING to 'aplogize' for Joe! :lol:

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
    MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
    DUCT TAPE.
    IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

    Justin is kicking but and I so appreciate his help.

    I don't know why I'v been messing around with tuning the maf, other than that is the way I was being guided. I definately learned stuff bout making tables and which pids to use and look at and even how to make a map and take percentage out/in the maf g/sec, but I could never get the car to idle right.

    Thanks Justin,
    Look fwd to round 2.

    KB, I am sorry I forgot to mention Kbracing in that list above...

    Someplace we should make a list of tuners that we can hand to people.
