Runs worse as it learns....

I'm going to take the truck over to a local place in Vancouver (WA) called Wong's Performance Tuning. I'm told they are very well versed in GM tuning. I hope I can afford what they have to offer.
I like to do things myself, but I only have so much time to figure it all out.

PM Dave W on this forum, he hangs out in that area Vancouver WA. and is super helpful in getting tunes straightened out. I am sure you will be pleased with his efforts. He can be found at http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...Old-School-EFi

Even if Dave W from Old School does not have time I'm sure he will help you get TunerPro RT setup and working on your Laptop! Then we have something to look at and see what's going wrong.

It sounds like your fuel maps are pretty good if it runs well after a ECM reset. Sometimes these old engines don't like to run at Stoich which is what the O2 sensor and BLM learn is what they do. The way to tune an engine that needs to run Open Loop is with a Wide Band and take the O2 sensor out!

This still leaves your timing issue! As you've been recommended get a GM ICM, it is an important part and aftermarket ICM have been proven to be in-accurate with timing. There could still be other installation/conversion issues. If you were closer to Coeur d'Alene Idaho I fix these conversions all the time.

You say the injectors flow at 180? 180 what? These TBI injectors are usually pound per hr. If you look on the top there are some numbers, write them down and let us know what they are and we can tell what size. Running at 26 PSI is very high pressure...

Wish you the best! Good Luck!
