heres the thing my AFC got reset and now my car seems to be running extremely rich.(a/f gauge read) it bogs on idle but once the accelerator is pressed the bogging stops. i do have larger injectors, so I'm guessing just that the ecu cant compensate for the added fuel.(I hope thats the case) I also have a bit of white smoke comming from my tailpipe, could this be do to running rich? thanks for the help.
 
If you have larger injectors you will need to compensate at idle. With my 550's I had it set at about -11% at 1000rpm's and it idle'd very smooth. Try turning your low setting 1000 rpm down until it even's out. White smoke is usually a sign of coolant being burned. Do you have any overheating problems or a compression problem?
 
when you have a tune on the SAFC, the safc tricks the ecu into thinking it needs to add more or less fuel. From what i've heard, the ecu will have a memory of the air/fuel ratio and the ecu will still be set for that tune which is no longer on the safc so it would run rich.

correct me if im wrong.
