What's up guys . Finally got some boost leaks out the way and fixed my starter now it's on to getting everything ready for tuning so I can finally have a driveable car but I'm stuck on few things .

First being getting the aem wideband already installed by previous owner to work so I can tune with ecmlink .
The Wideband is mounted on cluster and goes into the center consol as well as my Safc which works fine (pic below ) .the o2 sensor in the stock housing (pic below) and followed the wiring back to passenger side (pic below) . Now the other 4 cables are just hanging by the clutch pedal and the red wire is connected to a fuse (pic below) , which I've not heard anyone do . Do I move these to the suggested cig lighter pins?

Now for the tuning based questions I have ecmlink ready to instal but I already have a Safc already installed and running . I am very unfamiliar with Safc's but have heard their tuning is kinda ineffective .
Now my questions are
1. Do I need to remove this first before I start tuning via ecmlink ? 2. Will I have a problem tuning without putting a new o2 sensor in the exhaust (which is incomplete btw ) ?
3. Should I pay for a temp tune on the safc ? Would allow me to drive to local shop to put my new thermal exhaust on and weld a bung for the o2 sensor

Also my car is running very rich at the moment and idles only with me giving it gas otherwise it will stall out so I'm not able to drive to anyone for a tune or help me with this shit LOL.
Thanks in advanced guys

I have read up on those but they don't solve or have answers to my questions :/.
I need a tune to even be able to pull out of my driveway . So what I'm asking is can I get a decent temp tune with a incomplete exhaust as long as I get my wideband runing from stock o2 sensor . If I can it would allow me to take the car to a shop or friend who can work on the tuning and small things I most likely overlooked
 
If I am understanding correctly ......
You still have the S-AFC hooked up and working, and are ready to install ECM Link.?
If so .... do a basic S-AFC tune and drive it your friends shop and poof in goes the Link and out comes S-AFC and he can tune to his hearts desire, and you then have S-AFC to sell or drop into your next DSM project( personally I keep my S-AFC) ...
 
Yes you can. You need to connect the blue wire I believe, from the wb into the ecu.
in ecm there's a place to check all your inputs to make sure it's seeing the wb.
Dump the safc and ecm should have it running perfect. Just make sure you have all components seeing and talking together before you try to diagnose problems. Set up is key to Ecm I've found.

Hope it helps man.
