Mine does it warm or cold. Injectors are scaled fine with in 5%. Idle and cruise. Maf scaling did not make a difference either.

I don't really care too much though the car is going to get a stand alone at some point. The leaner idle wont hurt the car. As long as it's fueling properly in higher load areas and at higher piston speeds it'll be fine

So if am not wrong I think it's the tune, am gonna check it with my tuner and see if there's something he forgot.

If you guys got any suggestion please let me know thanks
if you rolled back to the original tune after fixing the exhaust leaks and the AFR started behaving then you've found the solution to the problem...

Okay, I decided to attach 2 logs, both with the car idleing for 12min.

And guys if read what I said in first post, the car idle like normal on cold start, but once the car warms up it falls to 18.4, you can see that in one of the log that I attached

Guys please check them and tell me what you think
Thanks

I think you need to give your tuner a chance to figure it out...sounds like you've had some mechanical issues which caused him to waste his time, now those issues are fixed and the tuner needs time to start over.

Mellon am only trying to find if there's a problem with my car, and thank god I solve it
Thanks every one for helping me out

4WS is the man he was able to let me find, and fix the problem, now we're doing cruising logs, and soon some power is on the way.

Wish me luck guys, and thanks again to everyone
