I took pics of my computer at 1400 rpms and a few just at idle, 800 rpms (but set to 900). First 4 pics are at 1400 next for at at 800. do my numbers look normal? My car would not run with it tied direct to the switch - run that direct to the battery and see if it runs - mine was night and day. get an image of the " INFO " screen - it shows your interference - it will show you

Your throttle is either not returning to neutral position for some reason. This should not be happening. When its running at 1400, pull the throttle(at the throttle body) back to neutral position. Maybe its hanging up or your spring is failing. If its at neutral position at 1400 then you have some electrical interference. That is dead giveaway when your TPS can't hold 0%. After looking closer, it looks like these shots are taken while the engine is cold....none the less, the TPS is still something to check. We would like to see what it is doing at temperature.

I have a Ford 5.0 style TB with modified throttle cable arms on mine, not a carb style. My classic fast has parameters for both so it doesn't matter. Don't know how EZ handles it. 70 Sport Fury 68 Charger 69 Coronet 72 RR

I pulled the fuel pump and cleaned the filters as well as the sending unit and made sure that was clean. Now if it would stop raining I could probably see if it it helped at all. Does keying it on through the ignition switch cause that much extra noise? I figured as long as it was powered directly through the battery I'd be good to go.

Thats what I did and it was night and day. FAST stated, and it was correct that all the " noise" generated from the ignition switch was causing an interference. Pull a direct feed from the battery and see how it goes - Mine would not run right, and load up until I did that. and post a picture of the info page - it will show how much interference there is - ( over 20 and its bad )

I don't have a garage until oct 31 so the car is sitting patiently waiting for a new seal for the gas tank. I pulled the sending unit and electric pump to make sure they were clean (they weren't) and found my seal to have a few little tears in which would probably explain the few drops of gas in the driveway. Hopefully I'll have time saturday to play around

I've been considering EZEFI for my `68 Charger R/T with mostly stock 440 (light bore when rebuilt many years ago). Looking forward to seeing how this works out. *`68 Charger R/T `02 A4 1.8TQMS `97 Jeep TJ*

Try his suggestion with a direct connection. Making it switched will be easy if this works...it has to improve the reliability no matter what. Steve

Tried to start it again...not happening. Jumped it again, ran it for about 5 mins with my foot on the gas (1500 rpms) seemed fine until I took my foot off the gas and it died again. Tried to start it battery was dead again. Think I may need a new battery now. Battery was only registering 13.2 volts, not it's usual 14ish

You have got to get that charging system figured out before you deal with the EFI system. Watch you did not foul your plugs again holding it at 1500. 1968 Pro-Touring Dodge Charger *2011 Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge Invitee http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/1203phr_1968_dodge_charger/index.html
