yes i still have an afpr.....put it back in where it was previously ady at{45} and it to read about 80 so i went back to the stock atleast until i can figure out why i am bouncing around with it stock......it never seems to really go up after its been running but its just that i dont understand why it is high sometimes and normal others...what components affect the computer to add or decrease fuel???it just seems to be adding to much fuel alot of the times

Your FPR is a mechanical device and is not connected to the PCM.
Its function, of course, is to keep your fp at a (relatively) steady rate.
Have you checked the vacuum?
The only other thing I can think of would be the fuel pump itself, but that is a stretch.

vacuum line is dry....fuel pump has about 500 miles on it.........heres another thought...could lack of engine vacuum have any affect?this new cam offers little vacuum.i know that after a while my canister builds up pressure is there anyway that once the canister gets the vacuum it needs the fpr gets what it needs and then functions properly
