5.0 idle lope injector problem?

I've been trying to get this new engine running correctly without luck.



The rpm will swing wildly at idle 400-500 rpm



The scanner shows an injector pulse width of 7-10 ms and the new O2 sensor is not swinging showing a rich reading.



Any tips guys?


Is the vacuum hose to the MAP sensor hooked up? Bob

That is too low for idle speed.

Try setting it around 700 with a -/+ of 50 rpm.

The idle speed is NOT adjustable, those who mess with the hardstop not knowing what they are doing usually create more problems then they cure.

I still think he forgot to hook up his MAP sensor when he put that new engine in. Bob

I mis-read it. I thought he was trying to set the idle speed himself, down around 4-500.
