So I installed the Power FC + commander, selected the correct air flow meter w/ the commander, and the car cranks up.

However, it cannot hold/maintain idle and would stall just after the engine started to idle. Unless you step on the throttle to keep the revs up, otherwise it would drop right to the bottom.

I have tried swapping both the stock MAF and Z32 MAF, then selected the air flow meter w/ the commander, but still it won't hold idle.

I thought the Power FC comes with a basemap similar to stock, so I could drive my car to the dyno to have it tuned for power. But now I have trouble getting it to idle properly. My mods are:

GT28R444cc injectors255 Walboro fuel pumpZ32 MAFHKS filterFMICTurbo manifold3" turbo backBlitz EBC

Can somebody shed the light? Thanks!

The self learning idle feature requires you to leave the car at idle for 10mins, so it would correct and learn itself.

But I can't even get the car to idle with the base map..

I haven't done that, maybe thats the reason...

Do you know how to adjust the map to compensate for bigger injectors?

Is there anyone out there who is familiar with Power FC tunning??
