Anyone know why my afr has changed after the clutch job? Or any possible reason why?

Before the clutch job I was at a 13.6-14.7 afr while cruising, now I'm at 10.X afr, but I think I'm good at WOT, its 10.6-11.7

I like the clutch, a lot more smoother, just takes some time to get use to because it engages a lot faster.

 

Check for boost leaks

Brought it to another shop that I go to, they already found the problem. The charge pipe was rubbing onto the starter and it's starting to make a hole. That's where the leak is coming from. Hopefully they it's a easy fix.

 

He checked out the pipe and turns out there wasn't a leak. He's gonna keep searching and see what else can be causing the car to run rich.

 

The guy I brought it to is asking if I got the latest update for the FIC, but that shouldn't be a concern though right?

It should be something mechanical if the car is now running rich if it wasn't before the clutch job correct?

 

Well having the latest update will def help but if it wasn't running ruch b4 then that's not the issue I still think is a boost leak somewhere in one of the couplers or something else is off try n load another basemap on there n see if that helps.

Also try n reset the ecu that could solve the issue. I had that issue when I had my tc twice. I just reset the ecu n bam all of a sudden never happened again. Still to this day idk what was the issue

Ah I'll try resetting it, hopefully it works out

 

Make sure you reset it completly and when you turn it on let it idle for 5min then you can drive I don't recomend punching it within the first 10 miles as its still learing your normal fuel trims and even after that it will still learn the fuel trims but you should be good to go

Decided to just drop off the car to the shop. Will post up once I get updates.

 

Shop got back to me and said everything was okay, they said just to get it retuned...

Sound right?

 

Hmmm quite interesting I mean it could be that u had a leak around the maf b4 the clutch job n u never noticed because your car was running "decent". But in reality your car was running super rich n it was just a tiny leak to make the car run "decent" but that's going out there I mean. Did u try n reset the ecu? If so anything change?

From what they told me, they didn't find anything mechanically wrong with the car. All the pipes, couplers, hoses, etc. were all good, no air leaks of such.

But, for some reason, the car isn't running nearly as rich. But the afr while cruising is about a 11.7-12.8. Didn't have a chance to check it while at WOT because I had my parents following behind on the way home when we picked it up from the shop lol. BUT, they did reset the ECU because all my clocks were reset on my H/U and gauge cluster.

And! not sure if its a inaccurate reading or not, but...

I got this while on the way home. 65-70mpg avg speed on the way home.

 

The ecu reset prob fixed all of that but go get tuned man n then let's see what this baby puts out

Setup a dyno tune with JMS Racing, getting it tuned on Saturday, will update once I get some results.

Excited. ;)

 

Do it should be pretty sweet your gas miles and over all driveability should shoot up n be much better as well as when u punch it haha ;-)
