    Exclamation help with a tuning questions

    okay, I have a question... I am at the point of starting the 5.3 and I am trying my hand at the HP Tuners software. I turned vats off and it fired right up but running rich is an under statement. I am using a PSI harness and all sensors are there except the rear O2s. I turned them to no error reported in the DTCs but still idling really rich!!!! Is this normal at first? It has not been driven only sitting there at idle.

    what injectors are you using? Are they aftermarket? If so do you have the right injector data? Are you running a MAF?

    green also if I remember. Its in the teens here temp wise today so I wont be tinkering with is lol when I do I will let you know and also I noticed that the dang oil system does not want to prime. It is a 30k motor out of a total but it was drained of oil and stored for 8 months... I started it and it ran for a minute or so then I noticed the oil pressure never came up so I shut it off. I have to get oil pressure before I figure out the fuel I guess lol
