Ok my car's check engine light is on, so i take my car to my friends house because he has an obdII diagnostic scanner and it said i was throwing a code that had something to do with a fuel issue...i was wondering if i could be running kinda rich or lean. when car is running, ehaust fumes smell very rich... what could this be?...and can a DSMlink tune the car and fix the problem?

Um...do you have the specific code it threw, that's kind of necissary to diagnose your problem. I noticed in your picture you didn't have a recirculated bov. Your car could be running rich in between shifts which could cause the rich smell and I think that can throw a CEL also.

So in no way is the Evo III's boost being controlled? And you aren't sure how much boost you are boosting? :confused: Que malo!!! That's most likely your problem right there.
