Default poping under 2000 rpms

hi

just wondering when the car is poping a bit under 2000 rpmīs and it has a hesitating throtte response and sometimes under pressure it backfires...
very powerless there...

what should i be looking for in the tune, what needs to be changed?

but after 2000 rpms itīs all good.

thanks

Baezi

There is a setting under Idle, Idle Airflow, Throttle follower, TPS step size. My 99 was set at 1.8 and I lowered it to 1.4, it drove like a different car, really smooth on the low end. Before I changed that it would buck and stall below 2000.
My friend has a 2000 and his was set to 1.0, so I don't know if this works for newer cars.

Also, take a look at your timing map for low rpm, should be 18-20 below 2000, some people just set it at 25.

What is your A/F look like on your Wideband 02 in those lower RPM ranges?

14.7 but itīs up and down , like itīs leaning out, seeing 15-16 some times when itīs poping, we tried to add 10% fuel there , but it did change much...

Injector tables are not right i think in my tune,,,,, could that not be the fault????

iīm running lucas 621030 43,5 psi (3bar) said for vette 5,7 v8 but in the tune the only thing that has been change is the pressure 43,5 the other tables are from stock injectors....

what do you guys say about that???

tps step size: is at 1.0%

spark timing is:
24@1200
24@1400
25@1600
26@1800
29 @2000
