Car runs lean now after being boosted w/ emanage

SO yeah i was turboed for the summer and fall with emanage.

I put car back to stock and now when I start my car it will start up fine but then when I go to drive it it like goes right to lean when I give it gas. I can push peddle down to floor and like nothing happens, my wideband shows lean all the way to end. But if i restart car it works fine.

I don't get it

Is my ecu messed up?

Re: Car runs lean now after being boosted w/ emanage

Well our engines do run a tad lean to achieve good fuel mpg...What type of afr gauge are you using? A wideband or narrow?......I don't know how lean your gauge is showing but if the car is driving fine I wouldn't worry about it. Check the plugs and make sure it is not very very lean or denotating.

Possibly try to reset ecu and perform idle relearn aswell.....

It is also possible to use the cars 02 sensor readings to determine afr...if you have access to a scan tool with on the fly data......new hondas w/ wideband sensors read afr's exact. Yours will probably be a voltage you will need to reference to see what is acceptable. Then you can compare readings.
