    I posted this on stangtuning.com also. Stangnet has helped me a lot so I thought I would also try my issue with you. I am using the Anderson PMS for tuning, this is my issue:

    I got the car started back up after changing my turbo placement. I am having the same issues I had the first time I fired it up. The car has a hard time maintaining 14.7 at idle. Its rich, sometimes around 11 or 12. I have removed fuel at idle, changed the timming, however its still the same. I have done the idle adjustment, but I can try again.

    The next issue is that when I hit the throttle, it has a big blip, hesitates and dies. I have to slowly work the throttle for it to not blip or hesitate. Last time this happened, Rick suggested I clock the MAF and add fuel in part throttle and it worked. Now its not working. I have been playing with the Accel feature, but can't seem to get a good response.

    Any ideas? I want to get the car to the track for further tuning, but this is halting that.

    on that elaborate a setup , I would suggest taking the car straight to Rick , if you are going to stay with a PMS then you will find out quickly that usually only he will be able to get it right with such a crazy setup ......hes been using it longer than anybody else is why
