Re: Running a little rich.
Ha ha ha.
Are you 100% sure its running rich? How do you know with no WBo2?

Re: Running a little rich.
Resetting the ECU may help. Is the BOV recirculating???

Re: Running a little rich.
No, his BOV isnt recirc'd. No one remembers that thread? Get yourself a recirculation kit and have fun not dieing between shifts. That stock narrow band isnt worth shit either, its an idea of what your real AFR is but its nothing to put stock in IMO.
And yes, I'd think resetting the ECU would help.

Re: Running a little rich.
O yea I remember. He also has already asked us about why his car is running bad.
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=769890 Unhook the battery completely. Leave it disconnected for like 30min and put it back in.

Re: Running a little rich.
no not yet unforunetly. I dunno if i should since i have the DSM link on the way and hope fully a MAF translator. But reguardless it should be one there but that wouldnt make much of a diff would it? I mean it shifted fien before the system was put on.

Re: Running a little rich.
It may have something to do with a better free flowing exhaust and that has an impact on the turbo which could cause things like this to happen.

Re: Running a little rich.
Are you sure that your o2 sensor just isn't dying on you? That could be the case since the a/f gauge runs off it and it could be causing your car to stall between shifts because of the readings from that and the bov not being recirculated... It doesn't take much to stall a motor out with just the tuning of it...

Re: Running a little rich.
Yeah I was thinking that. But I am not sure which 02 sensor my guage is going off. I didnt touch the one closest to the turbo. And we put the other one back in..... So I am nto sure man.
