FiTech EFI – Basic SetupInstructions
These are a basic overview of the most common setup
questions.
Resetting to a stock calibration:
From the main menu go to the very bottom and select
Write Cal To ECU. Once in this menu scroll down to the
second to last selection, it should say Default v8 T195.
Once on this file select it and it will download to 100
percent. A�er this is done it will revert to the main menu.
Now go to Go EFI Initial Setup, then Engine Setup, now
input all of the parameters that are needed for your
application, making sure to save each one individually.
A�er you have entered your information and saved it go up and select Dash
Board. Once in dashboard turn the ignition key o� and wait for all the data
to black out. Once this happens turn the ignition key to the on positon and
start the car.

IAC Steps:
Turn the driver’s side throttle adjustment screw IN (clockwise) half a turn
to start with, with that done turn the key on and go to dashboard and find
TPS and make sure it reads zero. If not, then shut the key o� and wait for
the numbers to go black then turn the key on again. Once that reads zero
start the vehicle and find IAC Steps on dashboard. This number needs to be
within 3-10 at warm idle. If the number reads zero then slowly turn the
screw OUT (counter clockwise) until the IAC steps reads between 3-10. If the
number is above 10 then shut the vehicle o� and turn the screw IN as stated
above and repeat the process until the IAC steps are between 3-10.
Reset Learn:
All Fitech EFI systems have learning procedures that the system uses to
adjust the active fuel tables it is using for operation. Sometimes if there are
outside problems such as bad misfires, exhaust leaks, or any other situation
that could cause poor readings on the O2 sensor, the system will try to
compensate in order to keep the car running. If this happens it alters the
fuel map in ways that may not be optimal for proper running the engine
normally.
To reset the learn is a very easy procedure. Go into the Go EFI Initial setup
then find Reset Learn. Once in that menu find Reset All Learn, highlight this
and push right on the joy stick to go to #1, then save that to the ECU by
pressing IN on the joystick. Once that is saved go back to the main menu,
and then up to Dashboard and select it. Once on dashboard turn the key o�
and wait for the numbers in the value side to go black. This mean the
system has saved. You have now reset the learn function.
Data Logging:
Data logging is a useful tool for diagnoses and tuning. It allows you to
check how the many functions the system can read and go through them
0
When the vehicle is running go onto the dashboard screen and press the
joystick on the right of the screen IN and a message will pop up saying Data
Log On. Now you will drive the car and get it to have the issue you are
having. Once you finish the drive you will press the button again and this
will save the data log. Then you can turn the vehicle o� and wait 15 seconds
for the data on the dashboard to go black. Once this happens you can take
the handheld to your PC and plug in the USB cable and handheld. The
handheld will light up with three menu options, USB mass storage is at the
top, select this. You should see a prompt on your PC to open the handheld
folder, if not go to My Computer and you should see a removable drive,
select it. Once the handheld folders come up on screen find the folder
labeled log_file. Select this folder and inside you should see several files
inside that say Dashboard, you can click on these and they will bring up an
Excel file showing the data you have recorded. You can also copy and paste
these files and send them to our technicians to look at as well.
Save your current settings and tune:
To save a tune first turn the key to the On position, not running. Then
find Read Cal from ECU on the main menu. Then select it, once in this menu
highlight one of the backup files you wish to save to and then either press
OK on the screen or push the joystick IN and it will save all your current
settings and parameters.
Cranking fuel adjustments:
With the key on go to the Go EFI Tuning menu, find Crank and Warm up.
There you will see three cranking fuel selections. For cold starts add or
subtract fuel from Crank fuel 65f, for hot starts add or subtract fuel from
crank fuel 170f. Changing these settings should help with your start up
issues along with setting the IAC. A good starting point is to change the
settings in intervals of 10 to find which way you need to adjust the system to
work better.
0
If the system is having a hesitation or bogging issue, and you IAC steps
are between 3-10 at warm idle, then your next step would be to adjust the
accel pump function to increase or decrease the fuel added on acceleration.
To start with turn the key to the on position and then find Go EFI Tuning on
the main menu and press enter. Then find Accel pump and press enter. You
will see a menu with multiple di�erent settings, you need to focus on the
Accel pumps (20f, 65f, 170f) and Fast Accel (20f, 65f, 170f). These setting
adjust how much fuel, at varying temperatures, the system injects when you
accelerate. Accel pump is used for any normal throttle input, Fast Accel is for
any fast throttle inputs or Wide Open Throttle.
Hesitation: If the vehicle has a hesitation (when you step on the throttle and
the engine does hangs and/ or almost dies and then suddenly take o�) this
normally is a lack of fuel so you would fix this by increasing the Accel Pump
(for normal throttle input hesitations) or Fast Accel (for fast throttle or WOT
inputs). You would make changes starting in increments of 10, to the temp
range that you are finding the issue to reside in.
Bogging/engine loads up/slow to respond: If the vehicle is bogging (when
you step on the throttle and the engine is slower/sluggish to come up to a
higher rpm) this is normally caused by over fueling. To fix this you would
need to reduce the amount of fuel it is injecting as an accel pump shot. To
do this this decrease the Accel Pump (for normal throttle input hesitations)
or Fast Accel (for fast throttle or WOT inputs). You would make changes
starting in increments of 10, to the temp range that you are finding the issue
to reside in.
Decel Fuel Cut O�:
When you let o� throttle and decel with your vehicle the EFI will reduce
fueling to prevent popping and an over rich condition that would occur if
the fueling continued as it normally would. Depending on the size of your
engine, camsha� specs, engine temp, gearing, and several other factors like
environmental conditions, you may have either too much or too little fuel
cut on decel.
0
Tuning and then find Fuel Cut Control. Inside this menu you will see an
option called DFCO Return fuel, this number represents the amount of fuel
the system will inject when it you start to give the vehicle throttle again. If
you are having a hesitation when getting back in the throttle then add to
the DFCO Return fuel to give the engine more fuel when transitioning back
to acceleration. You may also need to adjust your accel pump settings to
help with this transition as well.
Choosing a cam selection:
Cam selection is based on vacuum load of the engine. Cam 1 is for 15Hg
or above, Cam 2 is for 10Hg to 15hg, Cam 3 is 8Hg to 10Hg, Cam 4 is 8Hg to
6Hg. These are estimates and you may need to switch between them if the
vacuum load is between two di�erent cam settings to get the engine to run
better for your application.
Idle Return:
If the engine is not returning to idle quick enough for your liking or is
dropping too quickly and killing the engine then you may need to adjust the
rate at which the injection system comes to an idle. To do so you need to go
to Go EFI Tuning, then find and select Idle Control. Once in this menu you
will see several settings, the only one we are going to work with is Decel
open IAC. This number should be at zero as a base setting, by going
negative you are reducing the amount of time it takes to return to Idle, and
by going positive you are increasing the time it takes. Normal procedure of
adjustment is to add or subtract 10 to start with and then adjust it to your
liking or what the engine needs. Then once the setting is input save it to the
ecu by pushing the joystick IN, the handheld will show Send To ECU
Successful. Once this is done make sure to go back to the dashboard and
turn the key o� until the numbers clear out on the value side. This shows
that the system has saved.

Features & FAQ’s
AFR: Air Fuel Ratio. Some vehicles may have greater needs for fueling
that the self-learn may not be able to adjust in a great enough amount to
operate correctly right out of the box. The injection unit is always trying to
maintain a targeted AFR throughout its operation. It is either adding or
taking away fuel at any given time from its current fuel table in order to do
this. The AFR target is what the computer is constantly adjusting for (the
higher the number the more lean the mixture, the lower the number the
more rich the mixture is), but some engines need di�erent fueling
depending on the CID and cam they have. To adjust these numbers you
must go to our Go EFI Tuning menu then to AFR targets, typically adjusting
any AFR target should be done .01 at a time either up or down as the AFR
has drastic e�ects on how the engine runs.
Once in this menu you will see 10 settings you can adjust. Number 1 is for
Idle AFR which can range from 13.4 to 14.7 on average depending on the
engine. Adjusting this setting will help idle quality and takeo� from an idle.
The 1100, 3000, 6000 at 45kpa cruise are your cruising AFR ratios, these can
vary from 13.8 to 14.7 on average depending on the engines needs and your
desired fuel economy. The cruise AFR only e�ects cruise so it will not a�ect
your acceleration or other AFR settings. WOT 1100, 3000, 6000 are your
acceleration enrichment settings and are used for adjusting the desired
fueling for accelerating under either part throttle or WOT. The average for
these settings only ranges from 12.4 to 12.7, any accelerator needs beyond
that will require one of our technicians to go over with you. Boost 1100,
3000, 6000 180kpa should stay within 11.5 to 11.7 on most engines with
boost, any further adjustments to your boosted AFR settings should be
brought up with one of our technicians.

Bryce, I have a 600 power adder, running 2 fans no ac. I am using
timing. I have all set and during my initial learn, I have randomly
shut down 2 times while watching idle for 30 min. I drove 3 miles
to gas up and on return I died while running steady 45mph. did
not start right back up but a�er about 1 minute fired up and
drove home. I suspect its electrical as it didn’t even sputter. The
handheld never went out so I think the ecu keeps power. Any
thoughts on what to look at?
Bryce - FiTech Tech Pro

Keep an eye on rpm when this happens and also check fault
codes. You can get RPM interference from the two wire
distributor so twist the leads from the distributor to reduce the
possibility of this. Also if you are using a CDI box be sure its
wiring is routed separately from the EFI wiring.

I’m working on an engine for Terry Slaton with a go street 400hp.
Some other shop installed it but could not make it run correctly.
Terry says the engine is a 350ci out of a 1992 chev truck originally
with tbi. I have adjusted the timing(hei not computer controlled) I
reset the ecu to stock calibration and started from there. I have it
running quite smoothly at 14.7/1 afr, have set iac to 10 with electric
fan on. My problem now is a�er engine is o� 5 to 10 minutes it will
start and die. I have adjusted cranking fuel from -50 to +40 with no
change. any ideas? thanks,

Depending on how the fuel system is plumbed you may be
running into a vapor lock issue. Another possibility is loss of a
RPM signal. Look at RPM on the dashboard of the handheld
during cranking. You should see a cranking rpm even if the engine
doesn’t start. This could point to a failing ignition module.

Do you have new basic setup instructions for the new so�ware?
I have not found how to adjust the idle return commands in my
handheld control. The “Decel Open IAC” option is not there.
Bryce - FiTech Tech Pro
October 28, 2016
If you have a Go Street EFI the Decel Open IAC adjustment is in
the Pro Calibration. This can be turned on by going to Display
Setup and marking Pro Tuning to “show” and the menu will pop
up in the Main Menu.

Will this work on a stock 350? Literally nothing special, just a stock
probably 180 horse 350. Flat tops 882 heads with a dual plane

Not only will this system work… Most likely you wont have to
adjust a thing because we run every system that leaves our
facility on a SBC with a mild cam.

Hello there, I have few questions. Start o� with I can’t seem to get
the iac steps to 3-10 and my tips is at 0.0%. I have moved the driver
side screw counter clockwise a few turns, and still it is at a about
25-32 ish. Next question is I can’t seem to get rid of the hesitation
a�er I decel going down hills, etc. When I give it a quick response
0
A�er I decel a bit and come to a stop the vehicle almost dies, drops
to 400 rpm and is a bit slow to recover. Vehicle is 71 Bronco, 302, a
bigger cam unknown specs. Headers, msd 6a ignition, msd
distributor, advanced 10° and running afr at 14.0, seems to be the
happiest there. Efi 400 with fuel command center. Any help, and tips
I can get will be awesome.
Thanks!

Your throttle adjustment is o� because you are turning the
adjustment screw the wrong directions. To bring IAC steps down
you need to turn the screw in CLOCKWISE and then key o� to re-
zero the TPS.
See Decel Fuel Cut adjustments to remedy your hesitation. The
EFI shuts fuel completely o� on decel and your light throttle input
is making the transition very noticeable with the default setting.

I have decided to use a MSD #8570 distributor with no MSD box with
your 300001 EFI to control the timing. Being as there is no MSD box
& your EFI will be triggering the ignition coil what coil/OHMS coil do
you recommend? Thanks.
Bryce - FiTech Tech Pro
November 10, 2016
Any standard 12 volt coil will work. I believe most are around .08
to 1.5 ohms.

Can I change out the inlet fitting to a -08 AN on the Go EFI 8 Power
Adder Plus? If so what size inlet is on the unit itself? I see it has a -06
and my current lines are -08 and I don’t want to use a reducer.

The inlet thread size on the throttle body is 9/16-24. This is a
common carb inlet thread size so it should be easy to find.

Hi!
Frequently when I start up my engine the screen in the handheld
control turns white. I have to unplugs the connectors and plug then
back so the display shows again. Is that normal? Do I have some
kind of electrical problem al startup?

Bryce - FiTech Tech Pro
November 9, 2016
If the screen on the handheld turns white or blacks out during
cranking you have a low voltage issue. The RED (battery) wire
needs to go directly to the positive post on the battery.

We do not have information on VW setups as our systems were
designed more for v8 applications. We have a ton of people doing
your setup and even a dealer that only sells to the VW market.
Only thing I can think of that would be special is intake runner
length on VW engines are LONG and may require a good amount
of Acceleration enrichment adjustments.

distributor, I have know idea what horsepower i have ,so i wanna
know what to buy ? I’m looking at the mean set up , This is not a
daily driver its in a 1953 F-100 ,but i do drive it a lot during the
summer months, What do you think? Plus in the winter months i
disconnect the battery ,will this loose all data ?and do i have to start
all over in spring? Oh and i have a mechanical fuel pump that puts
out a max of 7 lbs , i wanna run your command center also, Thank
you ………

First of all leaded fuels will kill an oxygen sensor which is required
to run our system. Most racing fuels have lead additives so be
aware of this.
How much vacuum does your engine produce? 106 LSA is on the
narrow side and will require additional tuning for the system to
idle properly.
If you allow the system time to save which is about 30 seconds
a�er key o� you can remove main power to the unit.

November 16, 2016
Can you please elaborate on this. Can you not get it to idle down?
If so this is a possible vacuum leak. If it idles down but then cuts
out and dies this can be an ignition system issue. Check fault
codes for a possible po335 rpm noise code.

First thing in the morning..cold engine, Turn key on let the system
prime completely then start.. it goes up on rpm as it should but then
drops quickly to almost stall out. It hasn’t died completely and does
recover but it still tries and struggles to idle at warm up idle speed
instead of what I would think should be a bit higher until it is
warm…once warmed up, it idles great.
What can be done to help fix this issue? Thanks

Be sure you have you IAC steps set correctly. Also try leaning out
your target AFR at idle to a leaner setting like 14.2

I have a 445 ci FE engine, and we have to pedal the car to get it
started and for a few seconds a�er it is started just to keep it from
dying. This is more prevalent when the car is ice cold. Is this
normal? It is a hydraulic roller making 500 hp, warmed over
Edelbrock heads, not too radical.

Adjust your IAC steps and lean the engine out at idle to around
14.2 afr. If your engine pulls less than 9 inches of vacuum you may
want to creep the idle afr up to around 14.7-15.0.

My AIC steps will not stay where I adjust them to (a�er using proper
adjustment/saving technic). I get them set and they will not stay the
same a�er something like a rev or a restart. They’ll go from the
suggested range to mid-teens to mid-20s. I don’t believe there are
any exhaust leaks ahead of the o2 sensor and I have welded the
sensor bung in place. Is there anything I should be looking for? I
have the GoEFI-8 with the FCC.

This is fine. We just want you to set in in an acceptable range and
the EFI will then adjust as needed.

You will ultimately have to try it both ways to get started. Try
increasing it by 10 one day and then -10 the next. This will give

Bryce - FiTech Tech Pro

You will need a 2 wire magnetic pick up distributor to switch to
timing control. The Pertronix distributor will not work. Just a key
note on timing control as well. It is NOT self learning so for best
results you will have to build an ignition curve in the handheld to
best suit your engine. The default curve is close to a stock HEI
distributor.

If the IAC keeps going to zero simply back the screw out counter

Bryce - FiTech Tech Pro

Check for Fault Codes. They can be found on the MAIN MENU
under FAULT CODES. If there is a code it could be P0335 which is
for RPM noise from the ignition system. You would need to go
through your ignition and check for loose or worn components. It
also could be from EMI in the ignition which CDI boxes are
notorious for.
If no codes are found then an accel pump adjustment will need to
be made.
If the system is having a hesitation or bogging issue, and you IAC
steps are between 3-10 at warm idle, then your next step would
be to adjust the accel pump function to increase or decrease the
fuel added on acceleration. To start with turn the key to the on
position and then find Go EFI Tuning on the main menu and press
enter. Then find Accel pump and press enter. You will see a menu
with multiple di�erent settings, you need to focus on the Accel
pumps (20f, 65f, 170f) and Fast Accel (20f, 65f, 170f). These setting
adjust how much fuel, at varying temperatures, the system injects
when you accelerate. Accel pump is used for any normal throttle
input, Fast Accel is for any fast throttle inputs or Wide Open
Throttle.
Hesitation: If the vehicle has a hesitation (when you step on the
0
suddenly take o�) this normally is a lack of fuel so you would fix
this by increasing the Accel Pump (for normal throttle input
hesitations) or Fast Accel (for fast throttle or WOT inputs). You
would make changes starting in increments of 10, to the temp
range that you are finding the issue to reside in.
Bogging/engine loads up/slow to respond: If the vehicle is
bogging (when you step on the throttle and the engine is
slower/sluggish to come up to a higher rpm) this is normally
caused by over fueling. To fix this you would need to reduce the
amount of fuel it is injecting as an accel pump shot. To do this this
decrease the Accel Pump (for normal throttle input hesitations) or
Fast Accel (for fast throttle or WOT inputs). You would make
changes starting in increments of 10, to the temp range that you
are finding the issue to reside in.

My go street system has been working well since I installed about a

problems with just driving down the road and the command center
runs out of fuel. When I get out and open the hood and try to restart
the vehicle there is no high side pressure whatsoever. I have to re-
prime the command center with fuel and then it will fire up again.
There are other websites that talk about the command center
having issues with a check ball valve in there venting system. Bryte
or Cody can you help me out I don’t trust the system to drive it
anywhere without having problems that I’m experiencing.

Your issue is from one of two things.
1. The mechanical fuel pump is not feeding fuel into the
command center quick enough to run you engine.
2. The vent line on the command center has a restriction in it
causing the system to pressurize. If the command center builds
pressure inside it can stop fuel from coming into it.

Two things on this one. First o� the system can not be changed to
more cylinders than 8. Second the distributor you have will not
control timing.
If you have installed the system already this is what I recommend
to do. To Run the engine with this system you need to use a ready
to run style ignition as the EFI cant control your engine. Then just
try to run it on 8 cylinder selection. Your RPM will be wrong but
the system should be able to fuel for it regardless.
Let us know how this goes as we have never had someone put
our kit on a V12 before.

well and needed to control the timing. From your literature it

Check the white wire for 12 volts during cranking. This is the most
common no start issue. You can also look at the handheld under
dashboard. The first item in there is RPM and if you crank the
engine over you should show a RPM. If the screen goes o� it is low
cranking voltage to the red wire and if the RPM does not move
from zero its either the white wire loosing power or the blue wire
not receiving a tach input signal from your ignition.

Idle Return topic- the engine is warmed up and the engine is stalled
say o� roading or key turn o� , when the engine starts, it starts at
too high of an RPM. Can the settings be adjusted to have the engine
start almost at idle? like a carb?

The EFI is making the engine start with a fast idle on purpose. If
you want to change this you need to adjust CRANKING IAC. If you
adjust this setting too far you will cause starting issues.

i have a mean street 800hp setup and on the initial setup menu on
06 setting it doesnt have tach or 2wire+coil option, instead it has
pump pwm/fcc=40. is there a setting im missing? or might it be
cause im not using the power wire from the fitech to run my fuel
pump?

The tach input is for systems with timing control. The MEAN ST.
doesn’t have timing control so there is no need for that setting. If
you have a FUEL COMMAND CENTER you need to set Pump PWM
to 40.

I am getting popping on decel from cruise or hard accel. How can I
minimize this? 521 cu. in with Cam =3

Under decel the system shuts fuel o�. This is what is causing your
popping in the exhaust. If you check the FUEL CUT CONTROL so
that the setting of DECEL CUT MAP says 5 it will make the system
never cut fuel o� completely under decel.

Will I need to adjust DFCO fuel return since I won’t be going as
lean?

This setting changes the amount of fuel that is injected when
the system comes back into fueling from a decel. If you
turned decel o� this value no longer works.

It sounds like a cranking voltage issue. Check the red wire for 12+
volts and it should be going directly to the battery positive post.
Also check your engine grounds.

what is idle pid
Bryce - FiTech Tech Pro
March 23, 2017
The Idle PID in the dashboard is really not needed for a reference
in tuning. We do use it sometimes for advanced diagnosis but
below is what PID means and it applies to IAC (Idle Air Control)
Steps.
A proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID controller) is a
control loop feedback mechanism. A PID controller continuously
calculates an error value {\displaystyle e(t)} e(t) as the di�erence

derivative terms.

hello. Is EFI sensitive to cam lobe separation? 108 vs. 114 ? it’s a
street / strip cam I’m looking for. thank you.
Bryce - FiTech Tech Pro
March 23, 2017
Cam Lobe separation has a direct a�ect to vacuum. EFI reads
vacuum as a meter for load. So Yes a wider separation is better for
fuel injection. There is a really good article from Hotrod Magazine
on this from about a month ago.

I put an fitech kit on 5.3l ls motor it works fine when the engine is
cold it will burn the tires o� when it gets hot it won’t get out of its
own way it stalls it bogs it won’t pull up a hill

Check for fault codes in the EFI as well as put a fuel pressure
gauge on the fuel line to see if your issue is pressure related.

I have a code of rpm noise. I have a mopar 440 big block with fuel
command center. Everything seems to work ok it is running a little
rough now. I have the blue wire hooked to the neg side of the coil
and the white wire to the ballast resistor. Any help is appreciated.

Fuel injection will not work with ballast resisted ignition system.
You will need to update your ignition to a 12 volt system.

Hi I have your 1200 hp on a big block Chevy and It has a surge and
runs real rough when you put it in gear and driving it at any rpm I

can’t figure it out can’t hope uguys can help me with what’s going
on thanks

Check for fault codes. Surging idles is always caused by one of
two things. Vacuum leaks and RPM noise. The fault code section
is on the MAIN MENU is option 7 or 8.

In the dashboard is a value for engine vacuum. It reads a -7 with a
value indicated as PSI. Is this the same as a 7 inch vacuum reading? I
set the initial parameters as a 2 in cam specs, should I reset this to a
3 and is it necessary to reinitialize the system or simply allow it to
learn?
0
Yes the -7 means inches of vacuum, furthermore if your reading
that low of vacuum at idle you need to have the cam selection on
4.

If I wack the throttle with the car in park it will cut o� a�er I let the
throttle go…I did the IAC Steps and at warm idle it bounces back
and forth from 0 to 4, is this correct? For cold and warm start up
issues do I add fuel to start up? How do I lower the amount of rpm
ramp up a�er start up? Thanks

Yes you can add and or take away fuel from the “Crank Fuel”
under “crank and warm up” which is found in “go efi tuning”
