Does it only run lean when the idle is normal or when it is idling lower?? Also could your bov be causing this poor idle?? I used to have a poor idle with the Tial bov but when I switched to HKS it made a big difference.

It just idles lean. I know its not the BOV, it was running fine before. Not sure what would've changed all of a suddent with that.

This may sound like a dumb question, but when you said you started it and it was way Lean, did you fully let the car warm up first?

might also want to check the codes. you may be throwing others besides catalyst inefficiency (or whatever the code is for no cat).

yes i did. It started rich and then slowly climbed. To the point were the AFR gague couldn't even read how lean it was, you know, the dotted line and the cursor was all the way to the right as well.

Why don't you just reinstall the injectors to reseat the o-rings? you don't need the installer to do that for you. Real easy to do, it's only two nuts holding the fuel rail or if you can just reinstall the stock injectors for now. Just don't be boosting around with stock injectors on.

You aren't the only one in pain. However, my pain has nothing to do with my engine.
