Lean Idle and misfire??!?

jasteel13 · 05-10-2005, 09:56 PM

Alright i just began having this problem i have done some trouble shooting and cant come up with anything else.

First off i have an S-AFC, Wideband, and a 1g motor in a 2g.. The other day i was driving and it was driving fine and then i noticed at an idle my air/fuel starting going really lean like 19.0 20.0 and i was getting a lean misfire pop, so i used my afc and just pushed the settings from like -10 to +25 just to get it back to 14.5 area. that worked for then but that also made my car idle at about 20 vac. When it idles normal (800-1000 rpm) it is about 12 vac but it also pops and is running lean. I have tryed a new MAF meter and a map sensor, Also have tryed unpluging the afc and checking for vacuum leaks cant come up with anything. any help would be appreciated.

The pop that you refer to. Is it misfiring? A misfire is when you're running rich. You can't run rich and run lean at the same time. That doesn't make much sense.

well it only misses(pops) when the wideband is reading about 16.5 and up until i bring the afc settings to about +50 just to get it back to to 14.5ish

Bad o2 sensor maybe?..But then again,I'd think that you would run to rich at idle with a bad o2 sensor because the o2 sensor would be reading lean all the time (no volts) and the ecu would dump a heap load of fuel to compensate..Also,Have you had this problem for awhile?..When did you do the motor swap?..Has this been since the motor swap?..

well i found the problem... bottom of cyl 1 intake mani gasket was blown out, i couldnt hear it because the motor was idling at like 1500+ . so i finally found that and it alright "for now"

!

thanks for the help
