Well, I'd start by using a fuel pressure gauge, and a spark tester. Find out which one you're losing, then track it down from there.

i have 58psi when the engine shuts down. as far as the map yes the correct map is hooked up. i could be loosing spark and ill look into it. my buddy has a snap on scanner with freeze frame data. im going to try and get that tonight and see what happens when it shuts off.

what should the tps sensor be at for proper idle? i wonder if i dont have the throttle body adjusted right.

What tuner is this? Back in the day Wheatley used to lock his tunes, yours was unlocked?

If you don't have a scantool like HP tuners or EFI live you're basically pissing in the wind. That data from the handheld unit is basically useless. From you're description it sounds like the tune is way off, although I suppose there's a remote possibility there's a mechanical issue.

Synergy performance. its a dyno tuner. he was trying to adjust wheatleys safe tune because it was way off when he noticed i had installed the wrong map. i had to tow it back home about 80 miles to change the MAP and he told me it should start now but it is refusing to idle and right about when the STFT numbers hit 99% it gives me dead peddle and dies.
