Low idle VS ute v6 in Drive and poor fuel economy

Ah, no worries. Looks like a bundy sticker

Okay, I changed the memal to the original VS one. It doesn't pull as hard as the previous one, but is a lot smoother through the gear changes. Managed to get 390km highway cruising with 200kg of bike and gear in the back, and 370km local driving... so a 70km+ better difference.
The car runs alot hotter (gets up to 3/4 before full fan like it should), but I also changed the thermostat at the same time as the memcal, so can't be 100% sure which improved what.

The car still has a rough idle around 450-500rpm when in Drive (neutral is fine), and I still think that it's drinking a bit more fuel than it should. I have read that a dirty MAF could cause it, so will clean with electical contact cleaner tomorrow, and will also try and swap the K&N filter with a stock one in the next week as well.

Anyone got any other ideas, or might even know what the previous memcal was in the previous post (picture of a bundy bear on it)?

the memcal could be anything i have seen one before with that sticker post it over to me and ill check it out if you want and can soon sort out a good tune to put on it

You haven't over oiled the K & N filter by any chance? - this can cause problems with everything between the airfilter and the engine.

Thanks mate, but just happy to try and identify the root cause of my issue before I worry about anything else.

I don't think I put too much oil on it. I actually washed it really good and had nothing on it at one point and still did the same thing after I oiled it. I'll replace with a stocky when I get a chance anyway and see if there is any difference.

- I've also just found out about efi live which looks like it may be useful to help diagnose my issue. So i'll start reading more on this.

Thanks for the replys guys

Cleaned the MAF and replaced filter with stock one, no difference.
So I ran EFILIVE which came back with some high values, but not sure what they are from. This also shows the rpm (600rpm) not getting as low as I thought (400rpm on car dash), but still runs rough in drive not nutral. Maybe someone here might know about the below values?

VOLTREF (Reference Voltage) = 5V (has a max threshold of 3V in efilive)
PROMID (Eprom ID) = 1648 raw (has a max threshold of 255 in efilive)

can you post a log up?

PromID is your Eprom Chip ID

Is the log the .alg file that loads all the data back into efilive so you can watch it real time?
