start up was after the car was warmed. I am thinking i may have messed up timingidle is the most difficult thing to get right for the beginner. the big things to look for are the AFR and timing at idle. if the AFR is swinging the idle will never get steady.
please post a datalog of the car starting and idling along with a copy of your current tune file.
for help beyond just advice check out my services page link in my signature.
Will do tonight after work. I appreciate your help here.ok i setup a tune file that should work much better as a starting point. please tell me how you set the timing on the car, there are only a few correct ways to get it done. I noticed the WB showing some very lean spots during idle, you may want to pull a plug and see if they are fouled out.. a miss will show up as a lean spike.
datalog this tune file for me.
Got ya. Ok. I have a trick flow stage 1. I’ll load the tune later tonightthat is what your timing table was commanding so thats what it was idling at. ignition timing at idle is heavily dependent on the cam used and what condition you are tuning for.. as an example a stock or mild cam on a car using catalytic converters may want retarded timing while warming up to get the cats good and hot.
Some large cams like advanced timing [usually narrow LSA] and others with the same duration but a wider LSA may like lower idle timing.
my hard fast rule is this 'give the car what it wants'
the stock ecu will command around 20* at idle

I take it you did not load the tune file and then cycle the power?
Ok I’m sorry , I didn’t know that.You should not have touched the after start ase or wue, they get tuned last after the ve table is tuned. You cant tune the ve table until the car is up to full temp... everything has an order that must be followed or you will run in circles.
Here is the data log after the power cycle . I didn't touch anything just let it idleI changed the idle strategy so that requires a power cycle for the changes to fully take place.
Should I wait till the engine cools down?Ok now lets see how this one does.
