here's the scoop, I just replaced the capacitors and got a dsmchips stage3 with 550cc injector compensation and 2G MAS compensation. the problem is the car idles at 500rpm intead f the desired 1000. and it is running so rich the voltage on the o2 sensor is .22! you really don't even need the voltage to know. ass son as you start it up your eyes start watering up.... what could be my problem along with a code 12
 
"12" is the CEL for your MAS.
Likely it's either unplugged (duh) or it's faulty. In either case your ECU would go into "safe" mode and run overly rich to protect the engine from running lean.
 
.22 volts is more on the lean side for an o2 sensor if i'm not mistaken. I had a MAF code when one of my IC pipes blew off. Check for boost leaks while your at it. Its always nice to know you don't have any boost leaks. :thumb:
 
the maf is not hacked at all it's a bone stock 2G. and as far as the voltage goes, I was getting the reading from my Apexi turbo timer. My piping is all snug no vaccuum leaks and no boost leaks. I've replaced the capacitors too, the board didn't have any signs of the electrolyte leakage so... i'm still stumped. What I do know for sure is that the Car is running WAY too rich. 5 minutes of standing by or in the car and you will cry like mamma slapped you in the face with a 10 lbs sack of onions. :cry:
