So it's misfiring because the AFR isn't right, the logger shows lean afterwards.


Your fuel pressure will be wrong of course......lol.
Yah that actually makes sense, if there is no combustion that means oxygen isn't being used up so the wideband will read lots of oxygen and think lean condition.

Have you pulled the pump yet? Do that before you post anything else.

What did the OEM filter look like. Not the sock, the one embedded in the white plastic assembly. If it looks really dark, it might be clogged. That is what happened to me twice. New assemblies fixed everything.

No, the filter in the white plastic housing:

You can also see it in this thread where the OP cuts it open: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-evo8-9-a.html

Also I can take the car to 6500 rpm part throttle
Are you passing 20 psi on part throttle with no issues?
