hello i just recently got my car rebuilt and it was sitting not running for a year before that. it has heavy port work and some bolt ons. look at my profile for everything on the car. but the problem is that it is so lean that it wont idle at all and you have to give it gas till 1000 rpm so it runs and it will hit 14.5 afr on the wideband then all the sudden lean out so far it wont read on the wb 02. after the break in of 30min at 2000rpms my spark plugs are blue. i have checked all temp sensor and replaced em. then my fuel pressure is good. i have tryed to richen all the way on the maft but it still wont make a diffrence. please give some insite. thank you.
 
Boost leak test, high idle and running lean.
High idle because your TB can't keep the rpm's at the right idle rpm.
Lean because there's unmonitored air(most likely) entering after the intake sensor.

My 1g BOV is leaking a bit still and its crushed, so I feel ya =/
 
well my gm maft is a draw threw so its threw the intake pipe and the idle wont stay going unless you put your foot on the gas and hold it at 1000rpms. and ill check for boost leaks. btw my o2 sensor is b4 the cat on the dp
 
When you check for boost leaks check heavily around the intake to head mating area & an open port (brake booster) on your intake manifold. From the sounds of your symptoms that is where I would really concentrate.
 
so check for boost leaks by the intake to head mating. ok but could it be that i dont have enough injectors. even tho im running a 14b still.

would haveing a bad battery cause this too.

can i get some help please. i need to get this problem fixed
