No offense to Ion but he hasn't nailed the tune for LE setups. Mine was waaaaaaaay off also and would load up bad at idle. Fouled out a set of plugs in a week. Get it tuned properly.

Just make sure that tune is good for those injectors because if it isn't, you got a headache.

He had the tune made to the parts he ordered including the injectors. The car will not idle at all I believe.

I had this problem with the typhoon when I first installed the engine (filled oilpan with fuel). Mine turned out to be the fuel preasure regulator had the vaccum lines wrong I think. It has been a few years.

mine will idle for 30 seconds then die cause it flooded itself with so much fuel, can that be from the tune?

Had the same problem with my mail order tune.
The tuner said that that it must be something wrong with my car to not want the fuel.

I ended up tuning it locally so it would run properly with a friend's laptop then taking it to Tulsa for a dyno tune.
Runs much better now

Now, assuming that you've verified that your plugs are firing, your fuel lines
are properly connected and that the injectors are properly seated, that
would be something to look at.
You did degree that cam, right? And you didn't play with an AFPR, right?

I hope you can get it tuned soon. I want to see how it does against a certain LS2 GTO, lol.

So a lot of the mail order tunes are so far off that they will run rich enough to get fuel into the oilpan. That sux!

mail order tunes will be okay but get someone with a laptop to really see whats going on.. if your running too rich you will continue to keep fouling plugs..

Well, his car won't stay running at all. It won't even back out of the garage.
