Afr lean at idle and good at wot?????

i hooked up an innovate wideband 02 sensor and getting very lean 22 during idle at 1500 rpm in driveway
During wot driving 3-5000 rpm afr 10-11
at stop light at 1500 rpm 15-16

when i calibrate the innovate it shows 22.4 in open air. I don't think it is possible to have 22 afr during idle in drive way????

any thoughts

If those readings are right you need to datalog for your tuner to correct the maf tables.

Check your fuel trims.

Could be an exhaust leak. Where is the sensor installed and how good is the weld?

Re: Afr lean at idle and good at wot?????

tuning is a problem for me at this point in time wrt to new program or chip. I know I can get a better tune
i can play with my fuel and timing for now

vanilla ice
o2 bung is welded in my cat bypass pipe the weld looks solid

is the lean lean only presenting itself at idle because of my cam overlap 114 for a X-r 269(by memory)?

i want to drive the car but worried about this lean at idle causing damage.....
