Dude i'm not debating anything. I'm trying to understand your reasoning and learn something new. If what you are saying is true, I didn't know that. Just trying to understand why that might be the case.

Sorry to the OP if he is offended in any way.

my maf is connected. always was. just the map was disconnected. but i cant say that over the last year laying around, being moved and bumped around the MAF didnt get damaged. so lets say the MAF is damaged then with the MAP unplugged the engine wouldnt start. if i hold the throttle and wrap on it the engine runs great. i just dont want to break my new engine in at 3000 rpm's.

if you guys want to debate on my thread have at it. im honestly reading all the input and learning about tuning as i go.

The MAP shouldn't be too important for idle fuel calculations but I can't say for sure. I'm guessing your VE table numbers are too low and it's running too lean at idle. Either that or your injector numbers are off.

i messaged wheatley to ask him about the map and fuel tables on initial start up. honestly i think that since the PCM has never been calibrated for that engine and the map is unplugged that it is not allowing the pcm to calibrate.

confirmed by wheatley that my stalling issue is because the map is not connected. i must have both hooked up and working to get the engine to stay running
