too lean at idle
I finally got around to putting my wideband in and getting the ecu flast started my problem is at idle and normal cruising on the highway my afrs are 15.7-17+ !! I know in my previos car it would run about 14.7-16 what could be causing the afr to bee so lean? No exhaust leaks or anything. Under boost wot @18-19.5psi my afr is 10.5-11.2. Thanks in advance

Adjust what? He having the problem at idle and cruse so that would indicate close loop. That's suppose to be 14.7 with minor adjustments via feed back from the Narrow-band Lambda sensor. I start with clean the injectors and reseting the fuel trims (disconnect the -ve from the car battery for a few second). If thing still look lean, try replacing the Narrow-band Lambda sensor with a know working one if you can.

Your O2 sensor could be on its way out or reading slowly too. Couple of things you could try before forking your rom over to a tuner-would be a good thing to go ahead and replace those items as preventative maintenance (just the upstream O2).
Are you going lean (17+) on tip into wot at a cruise RPM like 3000/then going rich to your 10.5-11.2? Poor tuning is suspect/or a retune is required for parts additions. I never really saw my stock evo on a wideband...so it could be the crappy stock tune lol.
Mod list? Or did I read over it?
