Evo 8 lean idle, and lean cruise
Car is SD converted, DW300 (recently installed), FIC 2150’s, on E85. Cold starts on E at times are rough, but once the car is running the wideband fluctuates between 14.3-16.5/17’s and then 0’s out (pain in the butt), once the car is at operating temps AFR’s sit around the 14.5-15ish area. Once you try giving any throttle it immediately goes lean. Even the throttle has somewhat of a delay as well (checked tps voltage, that was good). This all started out of nowhere as well. When I drove it around the block, trying to get into boost the car would fall on its face. Seeing that I immediately went to the injectors, thinking that was the problem. I unplugged each injector one by one. Cylinders 4-3 all made audible changes to the idle, but injector 1 made no change. So to make sure it was the injector, I swapped injector 1 to cylinder 4 and injector 4 into cylinder 1. The car barely wanted to run. So I figured that was the problem. Swapped in a working 2150 injector into cylinder 1, and am still having the lean issues and when I unplug injector 1 there is still no audible change in idle. I checked fuel pressure and that is normal, I swapped out MAP sensor with no change in lean conditions. I’m running out of ideas. Thank you for any help.

I'm not too sure but to rule out the injectors test the injectors individually with 9v battery to see if it click. I recently had to change my oem fuel regular because it was failing. Check the whole fuel system to make sure you get the right amount of fuel if you have a guage psi. Also you can check the resistance of each making sure you have some type of resistance a 0 would be bad.

Did a compression test and found out that the cylinder that I thought had a bad injector (cylinder 1), was actually a bad cylinder. #1 50psi, #2 170, #3 170, #4 175
doing to do a leak down test tomorrow to see if it’s the head or the bottom end
