    A data log can provide useful information, even when the engine is running poorly.
    Base Pulse Width (BPW) is an important parameter.

    My 1227747 tuning experience has shown me to keep the BPW "window" to +/- 10% of the stock setting. Typically the 1227747 5.7 Liter TBI has BPW of 135, so a window of +/- 10% is a BPW between 121.5 ~ 148.5. TBI Injectors have a BPW "sweet spot", to much BPW causes idle quality and low speed driving issues and not enough BPW causes hesitation and driving issues at upper RPM's.

    has any one successfully upgraded ECM on the 84 Crossfire injection?? I know no one likes them
    I started with an 83 5.0 F car auto trans ecm and calibration, then switched to an 84 5.0 F car ecm, then switched to a 1227747, and currently run a 1227427.

    fuel pressure is @13psi
    Changing fuel pressure always made a large difference when I was using a stock ecm. Generally I kept pressure around 10 psi back then.

    starts out with low idle the as it warms up the rpm increase to 1200 and that is where it stays
    Have you balanced the throttle bodies yet?

    Thanks 1project2many, I am curious about the difference between 1227747 & 1227427?
    The fuel pressure @13 has not been changed at least since I have owned it
    as far as balancing throttle bodies, do you mean the IAC's or mechanical? I have tried to balance the IAC's but yesterday I noticed a whiney Squeal coming from top of engine.
    Im thinking I have a problem with one of the IAC's , I have the original ones to install and see if the noise goes away.

    I did check into balancing throttle bodies and no I have not done that. I am curious if I can use the multiple vacuum gauges I have to do that
