[DeTomaso] XFI 2.0 tune

Hi, I am wondering if there is someone here running Fast XFI 2.0 with XIM
ignition controller running 8 smart coils and their Fast 2.0 8 injector
throttle body.
I am looking for a good tune as a starting point as I had some troubles to
make it run well, especially getting the good idle.
Last what happened (2 years ago, as was not able to go to Europe due to
Covid) was really strange.
I drove the car out of the garage, just 100feet to clean and prepare to be
stored as I was just leaving the next day; after cleaning, the car just
refused to start; there was not a single sign of any ignition going on, just
cranking.
I checked and there was clearly spark on the coils as well as good pressure
on the fuel line (have a mechanical gage there so was easy to see), but no
life other than cranking.
On XFI the injector diodes ware blinking as they were sending the signal to
injectors but was not able to confirm if injectors ware actually delivering
fuel or not....finally had to push the car back into garage and leave next
morning.

One thing I did not check yet if fuse for the injectors was OK, but cannot
imagine why it would burn between starting, drawing 100ft and then not
starting one hour later.

Before installing the FI I was using just the XIM with smart coils and
carburetor; this was running really well, but was hoping to reduce the fuel
consumption a bit with FI system.

I will be back in Europe this summer and hope I can get the FI to run; if
not will be bolting the carburetor back on.
Engine is 416 Fontana block.

If there is someone using same (or similar) setup I would really appreciate
if possible to share the tune, so I can at least take that variable out of
equation.

Thanks, Robert
