when he had tuned more than enough IXs to know that it was a fuel issue and not the map.He continued to perform the tune and not tell me my fuel pump was bad because he wanted my money.

Fuel pump may only be part of the problem and your wideband may be dead on. If the pickup screens are dirty / clogged that will cause it to run leaner, I got .5 afr richer after changeing the pickup screens (one on the walbro and one in the other side of the tank on the end of the fuel pickup).
Could also have a bad FPR. Check your Fuel pressure at idel and at idle with the vacume line pulled off the FPR.

My Fuel pump pickup screen was as clean as could be, but I'll check the other one as well, just to eliminate the possible errors.

About 4 months old. The sensor was also out of the exhaust for a week while I was in the process of switching exhausts. If it got wet during that period, it would totally kill the sensor.
