Calling all Dallas SE-R guys

It seems that no matter how many things we check, we can't figure out why my car won't idle. I would greatly appreciate it if others could take a look at it and see something that we overlooked. I am mainly referring to Chuck or Naeem or 97 S14.

Anyways, James and I just found out that my JWT ECU does NOT have the 4 bar program on it. So I'm thinking all of that extra fuel has hurt something (spark plugs?). Well we put it back to stock fuel pressure and it's still the same. Hmm.... Please reply here with tips or let me know if you can come check the car out for me. Thanks guys.

check the injectors ( their flow might have been damaged with the improper settings) also check the fuel pump and relays.. (just to be careful) also make sure the timing is set... IIRC you have a cap and rotor distrib cap right? make sure those arent burnt out (might not be a fuel issue at all)

hit me up on msn and i'll give you my cell we can get together and give your car the once over...

Thanks Naeem. I hope James sees that.

Off the top of my head...
I would check all ground wires(in the engine bay), vacum lines, make sure the TPS is calibrated correctley to spec, check the spark plugs, all iginition wires connected tight?, piping, and even if all the connectors are pulgged properly. Check the O2 sensors...
That all I can think of at this time. Maybe that'll give you a start or end to some of the problems.
