Just install MegaSquirt or some other system that allows you to tune your car, or just have a question about tuning and the options available? Feel free to ask it here.

My Apexi SAFC-II and my PLX M200 wideband will be here tomorro or Tuesday. Me and my buddies will be doing the install and I'll be doing the tuning. Should be fun, and I cant wait to get some more power out of this thing. Needs leaned out more than anything though. Any suggestions, tips, or thoughts before I tackle this bitch? lol
EDIT: Ok, my car cuts out at 4k in any gear. It seems to lose all power at 3k and I cant tune it correct. My WB will shoot from 15-18 at any given moment it seems like. I have my idle and up to about 2500rpm really good at low throttle but once above there it is very spiratic. Like I need to add about 6-8% fuel once I get to 3k-4k which shouldnt happen at all. ALL the higher rpms are way lean and its not acting right. Any help here?

Set the correction factors back to zero and start over. If zeroing the correction factors does not help, you have the AFC installed or setup incorrectly.
What are your settings in the setup menu? You should have selected 4cyl, pressure sensor set to 6 in 6 out, throttle arrow should be UP.

tyler i replied to this on the .org check it there.
You need to reset your settings and start over (hit reset to default/factory).
I had this happen to me as well when i first installed it; as i said on the .org it was fun doing a test drive on a major highway
3rd gear at 4k with hazards FTW!

you need to reset the safc to default ... and re-enter your settings.
Make sure the it's on pressure and not K.

Well i had this once and all i did was fiddle with the settings (resetting them i'm pretty sure) and it went back to how it was supposed to be.
I don't think a wiring issue would cause this.

I got it fixed. On the little clear connecters where the wires meet the yellow and white map sensor wires came loose and werent getting connection. Also the grey TPS wire was loose too. Vitor took the uneeded wires out when he had it and those came loose and werent getting connection. Running good now.
