I need help! I check my air to fuel ratio and it was really rich like 11.8 so I used my tuner and made it 6% leaner 'that was the max' so now its at 12.2 which is still rich! so how do I adjust it? im stuck here... I want it to be at 13.2

 

any ideas?

 

Is that at idle, WOT or an average?

 

average or wot....

 

oh that was wot...

 

please does anyone have an idea? idle is around 14 but wot is 12.2 is it cuz i changed to colder plugs?

 

oh yeah the car smells gassy too?

 

F*** it! Turn ur timing up and let it eat! LOL. Idk, Id check things like ur upstream O2s... bad ones could do it. Also, have u f'ed with ur cooling system? If ur car doesnt heat up to like 185 degrees it will stay in cold run mode which dumps a lot more fuel in. People that set the values too low on their fan temps and also run anything colder than a 180 thermostat have had problems with that.

 

Sounds like a sensor problem. You should be at 14.5-15.1 at idle and cruise and 13 at wot (NA). Which means you are running rich because something is reading wrong. Its not the o2s because they have no effect on wot. It could be the ECT so data log it and see what it is. My guess would be the MAF. Clean it and make sure is is facing the way it did from the factory.

 

there's no codes if the mafs bador needs to be cleaned wouldn't there be a code?? ill do a data stream in the am and post it so u know all that stuff.... I never messed with the mafs So.... there really maf cleaner?
