I am running the mspnp 8693 on a 347 na with 30# injectors and I just installed the wideband O2 sensor and changed the spark plugs. I have maybe 30 minute of idle time on the new plugs. I was getting ready to set my timing and it started to die and finally did. Is there a setting I need to configure that's causing this. This is the second set of plugs in a row.

You have to get into the ve table and tune the idle fuel. It is set rich on purpose in the base tune.
Shoot for 13.8 AFR at hot idle

Also make sure in general settings the "incorporate afr" box is set.

Thanks , I figured it was a setting I was missing. I was trying to get the timing down and was completely shocked how fast the plugs fowled out again.
