    Engine dies at idling when the gaspedal drops

    Wonder how i can make the engine stay at idling after i have dropped the gaspedal

    i guess that there are to much fuel when the throttle is closed?
    How can i solve this?

    We need much more information that that.

    What type of vehicle is this? What size engine? What type of engine modifications? What have you done to the tune already? etc. etc.

    Ok i have an corvette c5-98 ls1, vortech v2 supercharger kit, 42#injectors (green tops), borla headers, borla exhaustsystem, zo6 intake,
    I haven´t done so much tune yet because we have winter in sweden but i have started the engine after the superharger installation and it run fat on fuel so we tried to lower that and it got better but the engine dies after i have pressed and dropped the pedal at idling

    did you adjust your ifr rable to reflect the new injectors...you say you lowered something but what "something" are you referring to?
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    We tried to tune the maf vs freq to 0 and fa mult stage1 vs time and lower the numbers, we haven´t adjust the IFR table yet... i did check another car that had supercharger installed with 42#injectors and took his numbers...

    the lower the number the more fuel gets dumped in.
