SCT tuner driving me crazy!

Sct problems

BEFORE THE TUNE I did the IAC fix cause of rpm's hanging... (Did the brass cap with a hole in it) When I did the tune it made it worse... Now it hangs more AND... say I'm going 60mph throw it in neutral it will hang at 1500rpm then slowly climb to 2 then immediately shoot down to 1500rpm... And now I'm throwing codes for too lean on bank 1 and bank 2... Another thing i noticed is when im driving and get off the gas the rpm will slowly drop then when it hits 2000rpm it will drop alot faster..... I'm getting overly frustrated please sum1 help...

brand new SCT xcal3 i'm trying to do the 93 octane fuel with the default settings

Lol when I threw lean codes I put my "stock" tune back on and went to sleep... I went to start it this morning and it wouldn't idle it would just drop right off until it warmed up, would I be wasting my time if I went home and adjusted the tps and throttle body to make sure they're in the correct place...? ... And I told myself a tuner would be better and less hassle then changing my produmps out for slp loudmouth 1's... So far this is a huge dissapointment

yeah AmericanMuscle wrote me a tune with all my stuff i had done to the car... so far it runs great... however i'm still waiting to see if it pulls a code so... i'm keeping my fingers crossed

Yeah so far my AM tune from Ryan works great no more problems and I'm at roughly 47 miles into the tune and no CEL...

What mods do you have done to the car , you had to have done something to upset the MAF transfer function in order for the canned SF3 tune to throw a lean code

WTF! i threw another lean code with the new tune ryan at AM gave me... i put it back to stock and i threw another bank 1 and bank 2 lean code within 10 miles... erased them now with another 10 or 15 miles i'm running a lean code on just bank 2 i'm strating to get even more pissed off and now i'm starting to regret shelling out money for this... heres everything thats done to my car performance wise wheather or not its a bolt on... i gave ryan this list and he tailored the tune to this list...

ADD: i just found a VERY small opening inbetween where my the front of the MAF and cheapo intake pipe meet (looks like the intake wasnt a flat surface it had a little wave in it) anyway i fixed it and made sure it sealed all the way, and also decided to clean it up since i had it all apart cause there was some stuff in there from sitting for over a year..... anyway, i cleared the codes on my stock tune and took it around town for 20 or some miles and no CEL... after the computer goes through the drive cycle ( 50 miles i think?) i'm gonna throw the custom tune from americanMuscle back on it and see if it throws a lean code

62 miles and it passed the OBD2 Jersey inspection test (aka it was past the drive cycle) i'm gonna throw the tune back on and see how it runs... so far it looks like it just may have been the MAF might be been dirty or the intake charge temp... i'll post up tomorrow and give details

130 miles on tune, no light. I guess it's safe to say that the MAF just needed to be cleaned... Now I can feel the difference tune Vs. No tune
