I hate to say it but that is the same thing that happened with 1.0. I did 3 installs on cars with ITB manifolds and all 3 of them have had issues. FAST tech support answer was to just reset the program and drive it... problems would tune in... then tune out...then tune in. They finally admitted that there were issues with the 1.0 system on ITB manifolds. There is a lot of "seat of the pants" adjustment that goes into putting a programmable EFI system on an ITB manifold that you learn with experience and these self-tuning systems just aren't smart enough to do it. They can only test so much at the factory and I think a lot of the trouble shooting comes from the real world, when as Greg mentioned, they are not installed or used in the optimal situations.
On the other side of the coin I sold two EZ 1.0 systems to guys with common plenum manifolds... one on a 500ci Caddy engine and neither have had issues.
I am interested to try out a 2.0 Sportsman system that has a manual tuner feature. This is something that knowledgeable tuners have been asking for since EZ 1.0 came out. I know it's a double edged sword but all programmable EFI systems are... they are adjustable enough for the hapless to make a big mess but in the right hands they make magic.
