It's not a carburetor!!!!! That's probably the source of some of your idle/dying problems

Then your issue is something else. Cliffs method IS how you do it, and the only way to do it correctly. The computer needs that to be accurate.

Put it back to stock and have it tuned correctly. Otherwise whoever is writing/fixing your tune is going into this blindly and will not have the right platform to start from.

the following is a quote from an email form the guy helping me. In the morning he wants me to try +5 global timing and -4 at all ranges. I can send you the txt file of the tune if you want but he tweaked the base tune and after some testing he is having me add some timing.

What I see in the logs is the Bank 2 fuel trims keep getting worse. The file you sent me this morning shows them to be around 4-8%. This last one shows them to be 14-19%. Most likely the code is for Bank 2 Lean.

Try this. Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and try starting the car again.

I have added timing to the Borderline table and there is no scalar for RPM adder for A/C on in this template.

The guy writing the tune had me adjust the idle screw till it would idle at like 700-750 I think it was and then when I told him the tps voltage he had me adjust the tps voltage down. He as been helping me since the minute the install was done so he is aware of all that's been done. I am more than willing to send someone else my stuff if they want to take a stab at it. I will let it warm up all the way tmrw and then adjust the screw to like 750 rpms and then make sure the tps voltage is between like .96 and .98 or so
