Does it still stall after it is warmed up? Could be a warm up enrichment table. Also look at the start fix on here. Maybe post a cal file so someone could look at it.

Who tuned it for you to get it fixed?

Titan knows how to tune a car. Did you go back to them? I think you should go back to them IMO so they can help you out. We can help you, but since it was professionally tuned they should help you fix it. The AEM is a powerful standalone and one mistake can take out your motor.

I agree you need to take the car back to them if it is a tuning issue. I did notice that you said you just got the car fixed. What work was performed on the car and did it exhibt the same problem before the car was worked on or did it start after?



If you can not get the car back to them now I would be more than happy to look at your calibration file and give you some advice on what to do. my email is:

Is your IAC working? I have seen similar behaviour when the Idle Air Control valve is non-functional.

The plugs alone wouldnt do it... I would assume it is the same wiring problem as before. Plugs will make the car misfire and buck at WOT but not turn off.

Just so you know, there is something screwy with my EMS... it will not control the IAC regardless of the settings... right now I just have it unplugged and use the BISS screw to adjust it. It doesnt idle when its real cold but once it starts to warm up it will idle. The warm idle is at around 1100-1200 which seems fine to me.

Have you tried messin with the warmup enrichment table? I had that problem when the car was cold..it would not idle. Too much fuel. Remove some fuel and try.
