a 5% change should not cause the car not to start. It comes with instructions, did you buy it from a reputable shop?

If you do a search for MAFT you'll find a ton of info. One thing I do know is you don't want to make changes to the MAFT without monitoring the effects. If you don't know the effects of your tuning you run the risk of running too lean and that's a bad thing!

As Ragtop mentioned, a 5% change one way or the other shouldn't cause the problems you are describing. Here's a nice document on tuning with a MAFT:

As others have said the car should start and run fine. If it does not and you cant get it to work you can send it to us and we will fix it for you. If you need a manual we will e-mail you one or you can see it on our web site at www.ramchargers.com. Go to RamNews on the main page and follow the link on the left side of the page to all tha manuals and FAQ.
thanks,
