Iac unplugged it should run a tad rich around 13.9 afr. It will run off the o2 sensors. If maf sensor is dirty or bad it will run rich. If iac unplugged and still runs then iac is stuck open. Iac unplugged should choke engine

If the maf sensor is plugged in and the iac is plugged in also it will not start or idle unless you give it throttle when it starts you have to keep it idle up or it will die but it will take part throttle then.... unplug iac valve starts up perfectly and will take pot throttle with out killing its seal but then won't take full throttle... hears the kicker plug in the iac and then unplug maf sensor and the csr runs perfectly fine besides it will run so lean it pegs my afr gauge at 21.8

Depending on throttle movement should read same as tps . If it spikes or erratic at idle replace maf

You dont have to run engine during this test.

Its a pro m mass air flow so could I just send it to pro m and he it recalibrate would that work or is it a tuning issue if so tuning the mass air is bout the only thing I have not messed with haven't had the software long but I love it just need to figure a little more out on it

I would imagine tuning a 5.0 is the same as tuning a mod motor. The MAF is the first thing that needs to be dialed in. Everything is based on the MAF transfer being correct.

Yes its all dialed in around maf but I'm trying to tune it but dont make sense why you can't have that maf and the iac plugged I its either one or the other but dont run unless its unplugged then runs fine I'm think the maf is bad but I'm not sure

Thanks SniveTroll ill check into that... what I think is going on is the maf is bad and when you give it throttle it reads throttle position but the maf aint reading any air and it shuts the injectors off witch in return is why it won't take part throttle ill check maf sensor tomorrow and if its bad ill just buy a stock one and tune it using my software

I can't use my software to tweak the curves and tables to get enough out of it And get it dialed in?

No, the maf doesn't support enough flow.

I could always write you a base map, so you can actually get moving in the right direction.

So you dont think the maf is bad its just in the tune? I just dont get why it won't run right with my maf plugged in but it runs fine besides some ritchnes and leanness with it unplugged.. I thought it should be the complete opposite.. and that would be awesome if you could do that

What info do you need? I have not mess with the tune besides change injector size engine size rev limiter shutoff egr and thermactor bye pass and took fuel out to get afr down at wot it ran perfectly fine the one day up and died would not start anything changed distributor and fixed ran fan for couple hours then the coil went bad changed it and ever since then it went down hill tps is brand new iac is brand new with iac and maf plugged in you have to give it quarter throttle to start up and keep it iddleing then it takes part throttle but no full throttle unplug iac leave maf plugged up starts and iddles by itself takes wot but everytime at part throttle its like you shut the key off.... now if you plug iac in and unplug the maf sensor it starts i dles and run fine takes part throttle and wot throttle witch makes no since to me

That's what I'm trying to say. I don't know how sensitive the pushrod ECUs are, but with the 4.6 a bad MAF transfer can cause it not to run. I went through it dialing mine in. When you unplug the MAF the ECU thinks it's bad and defaults to a limp mode.
