Okay, so I installed my new PFS purple box (thanks Justin!), and now, at idle, it wreaks of fuel. Not only that, but warm starts are becoming increasingly difficult. Will an idle fuel adjustment help correct this? I know it's already tuned, but I'm much higher in elevation than this was tuned for, so there's less oxygen.. Ideas?

i would start there, set the idle to stock and see where that gets ya. the pfc box is exactly like a chipped ecu (pettit, m2), except that its ouside and you can adjust it

Well there is no such thing as a NEW PMC. Doug stop making them a few months ago.

So you got a used unit homey. And make sure it is pink 9 or at least a pink model and if it is not pink 9 it needs to be updated BUT it has to be pink in order to update the unit. Also if it is old and not pink your not going to get it updated unless you beat doug down

Okay, I know it's used.. and it's purple, not pink.. why would it need to be updated? It seemed to work just fine for the previous owners. Also, I've never heard of a 'pink' unit. Only purple and gold. My box was manufactured 3/31/99, which I thought was the latest revision. And Ryan, I appreciate the knowledge, do you have any advice for the question at hand? I know you're knowledgeable about this thing, I've heard the stories!

I checked the commander, and the Idle map is set to (-8%) fuel and (+0) timing adjustments.

Well Pink means the pink 9 or 8 or 7 program not the color of the shell

. And yes that is very rich at idle. time = 0 degrees and if it a stock port it should be at -10 or -12 and ported -18 to -22. Hope this helps. And pull the unit out and make sure it says "pink* something 6thru9 is good.
