Do you know if it is running in open loop or closed loop? Can you post up the tune?

It doesn't seem to do it when it first starts up ( I can never remember if that's open or closed loop). I'm not sure what you mean by posting the tune up. It's the stock tune as far as I know, or what it was when I got it, with 3 degrees pulled out from 3000-6000rpm at WOT for the spray with a predator

Well, if it has a cam in it and running on the stock tune, there's your problem... It needs tuned.

Perhaps I should push it over a cliff. Any other ideas?

Dry kit spraying on the MAF? SLP with a screen or not?

I can do that, but it does it with the maf unplugged as well

Ok. Installed a stock maf and a new TPS. No change. When it's cold started and in closed loop it runs perfect and a/f is 14.5 at smooth idle. as soon as it goes to open loop the a/f starts climbing till it pegs the meter at 21.9 and idle gets kinda rough. If you rev it the a/f reacts as it should but when it drops back to idle it leans way out again. does the same on very light throttle cruising

Hey Cam99, were you able to find out the problem? I'm having the same exact problem (well the same exact symptoms) on mine. Thanks!
