After a lot of searching. I finally found a vacuum leak in my H/C car. The problem is that my car had been tuned before i found the vacuum leak. I took it to a friend of mine at the dealer after finding the leak and he set all of my fuel trims back to factory default. I was a little worried because I thought that the trims were part of the tuning process. He said that the computer would relearn what it needed. Now my car is running superrich. What's going on? Do I need another tune now?
the short answer is yes...you'll need another tune.
Did deleting the fuel trims destroy the whole tune or just the idle a/f ratio. The car drives fine, but then again its a baby cam.Quote:

Best bet is to get the car logged and see where it's at. "Super rich" isn't something you can diagnose with your nose. You'll need a data log to actually see what's going on with the car.
