I just swapped a CA18DET into my car. I'm using a ca18de computer with NIstune and the image map for CA18DET loaded onto it's chip. I am also using a Z32 MAF. I started it for the first time last nite and it idles very erratically. It's like someone is giving it gas then letting off over and over. When I touch the gas pedal it doesn't effect the idle either just continues reving and letting off on it's own over and over.

If you have a stock CA image loaded onto the map and it's not reprogrammed for the Z32 mafs, you're going to have problems. It needs to know that you're using the Z32 MAFS.

Any clue how to do this with Nistune?
