Default Problems starting car with afc hack

Ever since I installed the afc hack and the dsm 450cc injectors I have had problems starting the car. I never had problems with the greddy blue box, the car would start right up. To get the car to start easier I need to completely lean out the 1000rpm to -50, and even then then it doesnt start too great.

set your low throttle 1000rpm to -25% instead of -40. should smooth things up.

adding more fuel may work only if he is sure that its lean

Well I dont think its my fuel pressure. because I have the stock regulator, at idle im at about 42 psi. My wires, coil, cap, rotor, ignitor, and spark plugs have less than 7000 miles. I dont think more fuel will help, because my car starts better when i lean it out. I dont even think my car would idle with a -25 setting, that seems way too rich to me...

42? I think you're regulator isn't working. should be about 35psi with vaccum on the regulator. anyone else?

I think the fuel pressure should be in the 35 psi range, but i am not too sure. On the afc, make sure that in the seetings section that it is set to "pressure" and "06" in and "06" out. that could be the problem.
good luck

yeah, sensor settings were my first problem.. make sure you check that. I set all my settings to -35 across the board or was it 36 i think but either way the 450's start fine for me... A little hiccup here and there but they are big. hack = cool (once i bold the friggen charger up) : )
