Default HPTuners: Decceleration is RICH, how to adjust?

Using HPTuners. Car goes WOT rich during decel. Wondering what adjustments to make or what to look for to correct this. When I let off the throttle, if the RPM's are above 1400, the air/fuel ratio is around 12.7 with some flucuation. Any advice?

So you're telling me DFCO isn't kicking in for you?

What wideband do you have? Mine will sometimes show 12.8 during DFCO.

WB should read full-scale lean during DFCO. If you see 12.x, it is NOT active.

With those 60's, it's all about getting the short-pulse and offset tables setup right to get rid of your issue.

If you need less fuel than the minimum allowed pulse
width forces then you will see rich. Also expect that
deep decel is a poorly tuned place in the VE table and
MAF accuracy as well.

But, does it actually hurt anything?

Thanks for the responses guys. I don't think it's hurting anything as is, just curious if getting this to the lean side would increase my fuel economy. I'm stuck around the 10 mpg mark. Mostly "city" driving. Is it the 60# injectors that is making this car difficult to tune? I'm having some idle issues, mostly when the a/c is on. Surging and the occassional stall in neutral.

Post your tune and your stock tune.

Besides make sure that you can reach minimum pulse in deep decel, you can also setup DFCO so that it works properly and cuts fuel. Issues with A/C and idle issues aren't the injectors fault unless the IFR table is not accurate. There is a table in tq-mngmnt (engine not trans) that adds/subtracts/ramps airflow while the compressor is pulled in to help A/C load related issues.

Is that because it is too much injector for the setup? I have a similar problem and I also have 60#ers
