92 Civic
12.5:1 JBRE 88x99 K24/K20
Xcessive centerfeed
Q45 tb and TPS
New OEM o2 sensor

Im seeing mid 20's:1 air fuels. I even tried scaling the injectors and adding 10% overall fuel trim and nothing seemed to get it to go down. Car is up-idling on its own.

Heres the log...

You have not posted a calibration to look at.

Your TPS does not appear to be reading correctly as you have it adjusted with very high numbers and I never see it really sit at 0 in the datalog form more than a split second 2 or 3 times.

Your O2 sensor does not appear to be reading correctly as well as it is just fluctuating back and forth but never holding a stable AF.

I would suspect a vacuum leak of some kind and also either a faulty or poorly adjusted TPS.

Ok, so you don't think the primary o2 is wired incorrectly? I also suspected a vacuum leak but don't find any. I thought the Q45 tps was just hard to calibrate. but the whole time im logging its idling, im not touching the gas at all

I don't know what the problem is as it sounds like there are multiple problems at the same time.

I'm more concerned about the VERY high AFR right now I mean realistically a motor cannot run at that ratio. What gives?

Start by fixing the other known issues.

Fixed the TPS last night with a new one. Still experiencing the 25ish:1 air fuels.

Anyone know what could be causing this?

Can you elaborate?

I'm not saying that your is pipe is split just maybe a fueling issue somewhere
I managed to fix the TPS issue by getting a new one today..

But now i am still experiencing this bogging when i blip the throttle. not so much when i slightly get into it.. heres a log.

Is there anything i can physically check for fueling issues?

Tuned the car last night. No problems. Air fuel was fine on his innovate lm2. So the abnormally high air fuels HAVE to be a wiring issue. Just don't know what.
