flooding motor is one thing.. high idle is another. A flooded motor will smoke and sometimes drip unused fuel out of the tail pipe.. it takes air+fuel to make the revs that high.. so somehow it's letting in a whole bunch of air along with way too much fuel.

anyone follow where I'm going with this one?

you're thinking vacuum leak.

are you getting any check engine lights? does your check engine light even work?

it's FIXED....and i am back on the uberdata

it was the connections i did, i used a magnifying glass and inspected everything and found a few errors, and fixed them.

and the car runs fine....then i put in the uberdata chip and set VAFC to 0% across the board, and set base timing at +16 degrees (stock).

well i need to tune this further, this chip is just a basemap, and with the hack i had more power.
One thing i like about uberdata is i cant feel the transition into boost, smooth all the way.

two pins on the main chip were not soldered properly.

but it was working properly before right, so they just weren't solid connections and they came loose?
