hey tuners, since i bought this car on new years it has been giving me problems 
The BIGGEST problem as the title says, according to Link, my car runs super lean when I step on the throttle, spikes to 56:1! what the &%@$?? I am a complete newb to tuning, does anybody have any suggestions as to why?
Also I cant log the TPS, does that mean its no good?
i have been daily driving the car and FINALLY put in dsmlink to see why the hell my car has been acting like this and this is what i got..
Log 1. idleing and quick rev
Log 2. startup
Log 3.Cruise w/short WOT
Sorry for the quick post, this happened right after i deleted the egr. Went to start my car, LOG 2 shows the startup, spikes super lean and almost dies. I have no way to test the resistance of the sensors yet, need to buy a volt meter asap.
Symptoms: The car drives normal under part throttle, w/the exception of random ass knock that i have yet to capture. Exhaust has a stinging odor so im assuming its lean. FPR is from a manual(1382?) as well as injectors. Had boost leak at EGR. Blocked that off and capped all lines. No boost gauge. Stock wastegate. Idles horrible,, ranges from 1200-1500 and got consistenly worse since i bought the car....i cant think of any more other problems ryte now
im sure i missed a few.
if anybody can give me some insight about my logs until ECMtuning gets back to me, id appreciate it. I have a somewhat basic understanding of what im looking at..
so after looking at the logs a little bit, looks like my o2 and TPS are shot, right?
EDIT: went to ecmtuning site, watching demos
*updates soon*
EDIT: FIXED! kinda my MAFcomp and TIMING were so out of wack from the PO's setup , i THOUGHT i had reset them 
...o2 tps and idle switch are still on their way out their way out...
