Did you read any of the manuals?
msextra.com
Have you done the basics and setup the injector and engine size?

The main fuel table VE1 is where you begin

I think I can help you a little bit with this. i just went through this. My car runs now (somewhat) as I am trying to get my car to get it's timing set correctly. Did you calibrate all of your sensors? TPS, Coolant temp, AFR etc.? Let me know and I can see if I can get you going. I literally fought this for a week with me being such a newbie.

I'm going through the exact same thing. I'm just going to let Steve ( a91what) work his tuning magic and take heavy notes. It's a steep learning curve but will be worth it in the end.

I’ve read the manuals set up the injector and engine size. Now with the calibration I get to the tps and the no throttle seems to be starting at 291 and flat out wot is 521

I’ve been fighting mine for a week or so also and I feel like if I can get it to idle I can use the auto tune and the little I know from YouTube I can get it working well

the TPS is in ADC counts, 1024 counts for a 10bit adc = 0v- 0counts 5v- 1024 counts

thats normal.

I never suggest using autotune for idle VE. autotune will get you close but the majority of the table smoothing and transients have to be done by hand just like any ecu.
Idle and drivability are the two hardest things to get correct, if you look in my sig I have links to videos and other materials to help you.

my signature under my first post on each page, if you are on a phone it needs to be turned sideways. on the pc you may have to hover to expand it.

It only appears under the first post on each page made by a member so you will have to scroll up.
My stickies are also on the top of the digital tuning forum page.

what does your MAP reading in KPA on your gauge cluster?? It should read close to 100KPA (assuming you are running a naturally aspirated car).

even if you are not running an NA car the MAP reading should be around 100kpa in a KOEO condition. The MS2pnp should be using the mapdaddy upgraded sensor [dual sensor with 1bar baro and a 4bar map] in the settings menu it is the MPXH6400

the only time the sensor will read above 100kpa is when the car is seeing pressures above 1ATM.

so every 7kpa is roughly 1psi
14.7psi boost will register 203kpa at sea level.
