Nice looking ride...I don't have a FiTech unit yet but I plan on buying one for the Firebird I'm building over on my channel. I think you need to bump up the crank fuel and warmup settings in the unit until you get it to start w/o touching the pedal and it idles and warms up. Just remember small adjustments and turn the key off for a good 30 seconds after making the changes just to be safe.
Sweet rig Glenn! I wish fitech would release the mulit port system (with power adder version). I want to slap it on my 352 stroker Comet (11.12 sec, 123 mph). lol !
Thanks Rocky, I don't know when they're going to release the multi-port version. It's certainly something I would consider. I love the old Comets they are a very cool car that (like the Dart) doesn't get enough respect. I like them a lot more than a Mustang or Falcon.
you want to SET your steps at warm idle. Start the car up, let it get up to operating temp. shut it off and turn your throttle adjustment screw in half a turn so it picks up the new parameters, start the car and make sure your tps reads zero, if it doesnt, let it idle a minute, turn it back off and back on again. It should now have its new parameters to read zero, then turn the screw in or out accordingly so your iac steps are between 4-10. Let it idle a few minutes, then shut it off and back on and it will start learning its new parameters and trimming from there. hope this helps. oh by the way im not a dodge guy by any means, but ive always thought if done right the dart could look pretty tough. Only my opinion but i think it would off set everything better and have a cleaner look if you paint the drums black. or even a gunmetal wouldnt look bad. Just my opinion, your car. I do wish you put some dry lube on those door hinges though! >:O

Thanks for the advise and comments on my Dart Good luck with your Firebird.

Thanks Glenn. Actually, it's the Maverick clone version (1973), but I still enjoy it. Keep up the good work !
