ok...air fuel problem

when i have WOT my wideband says im running WAYYY too lean like average is around 11.5 but ive seen it go to 10.0.

and

when i let the car coast with no throttle my wideband says im running WAYYY too rich...it redlines to where the wideband shows (----) or whatever.

im thinking its that i need a retune i got my tune 8 months ago.

or

i just put a 3 inch greddy intercooler in, could it be that its too cold and alot of air (i live in chicago)

PLEASE HELP!!! lol thank you!

11.5 @ WOT is fine, 10.0 is too rich if you are getting that often. When you let off the gas and let the car coast it isnt burning any fuel. It's supposed to do that, so your wideband will show ---. Besides the 10.0 occurrences there seems to be nothing wrong.

Is this a new scale?

I always thought > 14.7 was lean and < 14.7 is rich for gasoline. At 13 afr theres still no free O2 remaining so it'srich, might not be rich enough at WOT if that's what you mean but I get up there in lower gears although not recommended for typical tune.

Yea he's referring to WOT conditions. At idle/cruise 14.7 is ideal, it should just jump around there give or take .5 every once in a while.
