I would post this in this thread but I'm restricted to the Newbie forum: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tun...roblem-o2-problem-wiring-leaned-out-idle.html
Sounds similar to the issues they're having.
So I'm going to look at a 90 AWD 5 spd Talon this weekend. It's owned by a friend of a friend. The car was pushing coolant into the overflow under boost, so the owner changed the head gasket. As far as I know that resolved the issue. (Although this is almost certainly 100% unrelated in my mind I figured I'd post about it just in case someone who knows better than me thinks otherwise!)
For whatever reason, I guess the car may have started to run a little rough, the owner replaced the O2 sensor (EDIT: It has a wideband O2 simulating the narrow band input to the ECU) and now the thing runs lean as hell and barely idles! I'm calling him soon to confirm the mods that are on the car, but to the best of my knowledge it has an FMIC, a 16G, a GM MAF and MAFT, a boost controller, and some other little mods. I'll update the list so it's better once I know myself. I believe it has the stock ECU, but it may have ECMlink. Like I said, I'll update as soon as possible.
I would really like to buy this car, the 1GA's are my absolute favorite, and I'm wondering what the hell the issue could be. Anybody have similar issues that they resolved??
EDIT: The car was sitting for a long time before he bought it, then he drove it for a couple of months and then garaged it for the past 2 or 3. He changed all the fluids and did proper maintenance.
