FAST Tuners, I need some tech help

With the Accel, I've just always adjusted the throttle blades so that I get an IAC count of about 8-10 out of a possible 100 hot in neutral, done.
Having to turn this and that off, changing your spark table, that's a hassle. That's just one reason why I'm so amazed that the Accel has gotten such a bad wrap from time to time.

Oh well it is what it is I guess. Best of luck 67ragtp.

I think it's what you learn on. My start was with a prom burner, but the program didn't give much to change. My first real EFI tuning was with the old FAST unit, which I still like. Nowhere near the capabilities of the new stuff, but a solid performer that was easy to tune.

We've spoken about Accel in the past. I think the reason the Gen VII got such a bad rap was that when it came out they made anyone with a pulse an EMIC. You ended up with a lot of untrained tuners out there, that could not tune the system. That made the system look like the problem, when it actually was the other way around.

Well put Jody, I couldn't agree more.

Something I always found helpful when trying to find an issue -- turning off the 02.... so it wasn't chasing the A/F ratio all over... Then I'd watch the A/F to see if it was at the number I'd set "on it's own". Ditto timing... set a non corrected # - and check that with the timing light... and make sure they match etc.
