Running rich but wide band says I'm normal

[dsmaddict123]

Like the title says I'm running rich but my aem wide band say I'm normal,
14.5-15.5 while cruising and accel not under boost
14.6 at idle
But the most I get is maybe 200 miles to a tank if I don't boost at all
I'm almost all stock besides 3 inch exhaust, intake, and front mount
I've read that we're supposed to get at least 300 to tank
I'm AWD also

is your narrowband still hooked up?

First off, how do you know your running rich other than your 200 miles per tank (which is not a good way to base it on), have you checked your plugs.

Also, check your wideband. When they go "funky" they will typically read mid 14's to mid 15's.

Its an arm like I stated and also I didn't say but it reads high 10's low 11's during boost. I haven't checked the plugs yet, but how is me only getting 200 a tank not a sign of running rich?

Agreed, pull the sensor out of the exhaust and it should go full lean, or spray a cloth with brake cleaner and wrap it around the sensor, it should peg rich. If it doesn't shes pooched. Mine died and sat around 15.2. but would read correctly for the first 3-5 min of starting the car up and driving...

But if your Wideband is not inputting any signal to your ecu, it should have nothing to do with your poor gas mileage.

Ditch the AEM and grab something else.
Innovative has some nice stuff.

If you want to tell us your gas mileage, then calculate your gas mileage and post it. 200 miles per tank means nothing.

I'll check the wide band when I check the plugs, and is it normal for awd to get 200 a tank with no boosting?

Any exhaust leaks?

The awd should get 25 mpg stock

 

[dsmaddict123]

Nope no exhaust or boost leaks
