Hi guys.
I'm working on one of the OpenFOAM's tuturials which its name is SandiaD_LTS (reactingfoam (RAS)). This Model has 36 species but my model has 41 species. I converted my mechanism with ChemkinToFoam to openFoam's format and changed the files in ''constant'' folder accordingly.
The problem is that openFoam's solver can solve the equations for 39 species without any problem, but for two remaining species (A2XXC10H7 and A2XC10H8) it crashes and I get a error which shows max courant number is about 3000 !!!
Does anyone have any idea, how I can resolve this problem?
Here is the error:

You can reduce the Courant number in system/controlDict by changing the value of maxCo.

Thanks for your reply. I did it but nothing changed.
I would be appreciated if someone could help me by this case.
I stuck from yesterday actually

Sorry, I made a mistake, I redueced max Co, but I did not activate adjustable Timestep, therefore OpenFoam could not recognize my changes. I activated it and ran the simulation. I'm waiting for the results, I hope it works

[Amirreza_pro]

It's a little freaky.
When I choose max Coraunt a number less than 1, It runs succesfully but , I don't have any output of my two remaining species.
When I choose max Courant 1 or more than 1, again I get the same error and the solver does not solve the equations for two remaing species. here is the error for max Courant: 1

I did many tricks, but none of them works

[Amirreza_pro]

Update:
I fixed the problem. What I have done:
1- reducing max courant number
2- refining the mesh
3- improving initial conditions
4- changing Temperature limits
