Default Someone who can read tunes, tell me whats happening?

This is the problem best describe:
I cold start and its fine, i drive its fine, after the car has been goin for about 20-30 mins the cars timing will go CRAZY and will start to lose idle and eventually die, UNLESS i constantly keep pressure on the gas. Before i go buy parts wanna make sure i am thinking right. My Thoughts: Maybe the TPS is bad, but if it was bad wouldnt it be screwy in all RPM ranges? Maybe the IAT is throwing off the timing, cause when the car is idle it jumps to 150+ IAT. Any help, enclosed is my drive home last night after the car had been running for about an hour. You can see where the Timing starts to go crazy. ANY HELP?

Figure out why your fuel trims are +25% would be a good place to start.

Could that be due to to small injectors? 42lbs

+1. your tune is whacked. Gotta get your fueling right before you do anything. At least get it close. LT are +25% and the STs are still adding. No wonder you have to 2 foot it to keep it running.

Actually, if you plug in the right numbers for 42 pounders, the fueling will be off even more.
Are you sure they are 42s? What color are they?

As bad as the fuelings off, they may 30s. Start by scaling the IFR table by .80. That'll get ya closer. Then go in 2-4% increments. That is x .98-.96.

His tune was off the opposite way. In other words, if he were to put the right numbers in the IFR table for 42 pounders, it would have made the fueling worse.
Can you post, or send me your tune, and a data log?
I think his problem was he set his IFR table to what he thought was a 42 pound setting, and the injectors were really stock, or maybe 30 pounders.

Depending on the size now, you may be exceeding 100% duty cycle anyways.
As for performance gain, you probably wont see any, unless the ones you have now are inadequate.
