Re: 5.3 C10 Swap Idle Issue

First off, I want to say thank you so much for all of the feedback skyphix! I really appreciate it a lot.

It is the Z code PCM and the injectors are from the same vehicle, yes. I am unsure of what parameters this guy used since I mailed it to him and there was zero communication from him. Not even a note as to whether or not he got the specs from me.

I'm running my HVAC controls in the cab off of a tee in this line, but the issue has been there since day one before I tapped into this hose on Monday.

Running the factory vacuum controlled regulator on this thing. It's unlikely that I'll be able to get any communication with the tuner as he just doesn't respond to anything. Sadly, I'll probably have to get another PCM and get it programmed by someone else to see if that's it.
