Need help!! Engine won`t idle...
Hi everyone,
I just got my new crate engine (LS1) running and I can`t get it to idle right.
It is a crate motor from scoggin dickey and came with the computer and wiring harness so it was a relative easy install in a 69 camaro.
Anyway, I just fired it up and it idled perfect right out of the box but the minute I touched the throttle I wont idle anymore. If I go to start it back up again I have to give it some throttle in order for it to start and stay running but again it won`t stay ideling. If I let it sit for a while and try again it will start and idle fine but the minute I hit the throttle the idle is gone.
Any ideas what I could try?
Thanks, Kurt

I have all wiring hooked up to all the sensors. The wiring was all labeled so it was really easy. Speaking of the Maf, I did start the car before I had that installed and when I couldn`t get it to idle I just figured that would be why. The Maf showed up shrtly after I got it running so I installed that but it didn`t change a thing.
Any other ideas? I really appreciate it.
Thanks
