My TMaxx dies at idle.
I have the thing tuned well it runs right around 260, but when it is warmed up it will stall at idle and then be tough to start. Do I have the lowspeed too lean?...too rich. It kinda idles down and then dies...or do I have the idle too low.

RE: My TMaxx dies at idle.
Engines will die on idle if they're overheating (high-speed too lean). Otherwise it does sound like your idle is a little low. Did you tune your low when the engine was cold? Cold, my engine idles a little high, but calms down when it gets to temp.

Are you running the 2.5 if you are then they are notorious for hard tuning and not idleing. Most of the time to keep it running most people just make it idle high but then it will be jerking.

RE: My TMaxx dies at idle.
you may have your hsn too lean and be over compensating with having the lsn too rich, c ausing it to rev from high to low when you put on the breaks.
To solve it richen it up on the hsn 1/8 of a turn and lean the lsn 1/8 of a turn and go from there.
Good Luck
