Idling issue, looking for ideas


Recommended Posts

Background/Issue:

I recently replaced my no name headers with killerb holy headers and replaced my leaky fmic with a grimmspeed tmic also changed out my GS aos to a IAG catch can/aos. Those were the only changes to the car performance related while the car was down. Now when I start the car it idles fine for about 5-10 sec at the normal 14.7 afr then drops under 10.0 where neither my aem wideband nor the cars front afr can read that low. It idles so rich it will fill the garage with gas fumes. I cant let the car idle long enough for the ecu to have time to pop codes but no misfires since that would happen immediately from my experience. Also if when I would press the throttle just a bit the rpm would blip up in normal relation to amount of throttle depressed but as it comes back down the car stalls out. I dont have any oil in my coolant or visa versa. Compression was in the mid 140's across all cylinders nothing more than a 3-4% variation. I have yet to do a leak down test and I also have a hunch since the car sat for a few months the avcs solenoids could be stuck.

 

Things Ive tried already:

New plugs, coilpacks, front A/F sensor and rear o2, fresh gas, reflash map, injectors tested/cleaned new orings, compression test, also hardwired the fuel pump.

 

Untested speculations:

Fuel pressure regulator bad, avcs solenoid stuck, leak down test.

 

Mods:

05 LGT wagon 5speed

Protune with v2 cobb AP 93/e85 dual maps

speed density

grimmspeed ebcs

v52 turbo

perrin turbo inlet

killerb headers&ewg up

tial 44mm ewg

GFB 50/50 recirc bov

radium pump housing with single walbro 255

ID1000cc inj top feed conv

aeromotive fpr

grimmspeed tmic

tgv deletes

iag catch can

 

Cliff Notes:

Car idles super rich after swapping headers and going fmic to tmic while running speed density in both set ups. Tried multiple things now open to suggestions from the forum.
