this is my last config.

the car will not start

the plugs get wet. I have changed the oil (alot of fuel in the oil).

have/can you checked that you don't have an injector stuck open or perhaps dribbling?


Posted by email.

i'm starting to think that there is something wrong with my plugs. i shall buy some new ones, and try again...

eliotmansfield, did you change anyting in the msq-file?

Dont understand why the attachment is there, I haven't touched it. I replied via email on the train this morning, something got crossed somewhere.
(edit: i see what happened, fixed previos post now)

got new sparkplugs, and then I was on the road again!!!

alot of tuning remains, and hopefully, this car will be good to go shortly.


It is abit tricky to start though, and it dies easy when I put it in gear...

Too much or too little fuel? And how to decrease the duty cycle?

ok...

this is my problem now:
the idle is getting better... it's not as stable as I hoped for, but ok. but when I put it in gear (this is an automatic tranny), it falls to about 600 rpm, and the engine dies after a couple of seconds.

the engine does not take the trottle very vell. and aslo i have some misfires (i beleave...) when I increase the rpm to 2500-3000.

also my IAC does not seem to work as it should. it does not work in revers, it just acts a little funny. on a startup with hot engine, it opes up, and the engine revs up alot. on cld start, it works pretty good.

I's suspecting the engine still goes too rich, but I get no reaction when I adjust the Req_fuel.

I post my msq-file here, so please come with advise.

one last thing, should I have som o2 system installed? what exactly do I need on this V8 engine? what will it cost?


thanks
