Default tuning question

i put my 450cc dsm's in and a chipped ecu..it didnt idle smooth and would die out so i turned that thing on the throttle body and now its doesnt die out but idles funny..would i have to get it tuned or is there a way to fix it and run un-tuned for a while?
the person who tuned my car said the chipping he used is called Atmel 29c256

unless you trust the dude that made the base, i would definately have it tuned, is it loading up on fuel and cutting out? i am assuming it is if you have to open the throttle plate to keep it running, but fly by night "chippers" scare me.

yea i trust him alot cause he's one of the techs at a shop around here and just gave me a deal..

at first when i turn on the car it'd turn on then idle fine for about 20 seconds then start to die.then die

now that i messed with the thing on the throttle body it doesnt die out (good thing) but then it idles funny..like jumpy (bad thing)

You do realize a basemap is just a temporary tune, it should be tuned as soon as possible. Like put the basemap in, drive it to a tuner right afterwards.

Read my sig to read what happens when boosting on a basemap to long.

sell it then. when there is the huffer on the front, there will always be something wrong with it. or something needing to be fixed.

Krazymoob,
Get it tuned and that should fix your probs. Not sure who you use to tune your car,but there is a guy, Mr. dave leed, who i hear is the man. Search his name on HT.

LOOK, my 666th post! You should sell the car!! its a sign, your car is gonna burn to the ground.

play with your distributer make sure your timming is correct.

When i first started my car with a base map it just died, we tried it again after adjusting the distributer and it idled perfectley with 440's.

But yeah get it tuned asap
