    I have a feeling my battery terminal cannot support that much flow thru it. I'll have to find a new solution

    Thoughts?
    Are you running a relay for your fan? What alternator are you running. Sounds like you need a higher amp setup.

    90 amp maxima alternator. Got a derale 16749 fan controller set up with it. I need to see how many amps the fan is drawing…

    You've got to upgrade that alternator bro. 90A is weak considering the accessories you've added over time. Frontier/Xterra run 100A, Quest run 125A, Titans run 150A.. You can ether mod your mount/tensioner or attempt to swap the front casing.

    Also not sure how you're running that controller, i'm more of a DIY'er and used a sentra temp switch in the radiator petcock to provide relay ground, which supplies power to high speed switch of some maxi fans

    I've cut the radiator hose and put a temp switch in an adapter. Variable temp controller, but relay runs off ground. I guess I'll have to look into upgrading. Honestly all I have is 3 gauges and a boost controller. Wouldn't think that would take much.

    14.7 is a little lean for idle on a batch fire setup. normally the idle is most stable in the low 13 range. If you continue to have issues I would play with injector latency a bit.

    Update. Once all the intercooler piping was completed the car runs amazing. idles at 14.7 when warmed up and runs great. MAF didn't like the turbulence with open piping.

    I see you're using the AEM UEGO. A quick search doesn't say if it has a 'dummy' signal to the ECU. If it has this feature wire it in any report back.

    I wouldn't worry about the TPS values if you're running the OEM TPS, wouldn't hurt to meter it just to be sure. I'm running a stanza TPS on a Q45 TB with a wiring mod, no idle controls at all, innovate LC-1 with 'dummy' signal and it idles fine. Cams shouldn't be considered with this issue.

    Did you follow the most recent NisTune setup guide? is your software up to date?
    I am very curious if this works properly? I have a PLX SM-AFR and it has a simulated narrow band 0-1VDC output in which I would like to run to Pin 24 of the ECU, but I am not sure if this works. Have you any experience running like this? I noticed this morning on my Nistune gauge screen that my narrow band signal is dead. I have a weird combo as my car is a 1986 and it is a 1988 ECU. 1986 has a screwball 3-wire titainia sensor and the 1988 ECU is looking for a 4-wire version.

    CAG8OR - i can not confirm the 'dummy' input pin #. i have ran a 'dummy' input for roughly 1,400mi with 0 issues. i would suggest properly treating/coating your wideband ground to prevent erranious grounds as the electrical values are fairly precise.
