Am I Fu*ked???? Shavings into manifold?
Ok, so I've been working on the miata the pass couple of days. I tapped the IAT sensor into the intercooler, I used grease/lube on the drill bits, so I assumed that not much of the metal shavings went into the intercooler.
I left the car alone and didn't drive it for a couple of days and totally forgot that I might have had shavings in the intercooler so I just screwed the IAT sensor in and ran the car. The car choked and wouldn't run so I tried again, it ran but the whole engine bay was shaking wild. It only rumbles on idle and WB say it's running full lean at some points 16s during idle, but when I rev a little the rumble stops and WB is back to the 14-15. The shavings most likely got sucked into the intake manifold. Uhhh, what should I do from here?
Damn I'm retarded

If youre not a ***** you can make the car idle lean.
16s are not too lean for the car to idle well.
Every time someone posts "My idle is rock solid at 13.0:1", God kills a kitten.
Think before you tune.

hell, I even have an Idle VE table and things get twitchy above 14.4:1 or so.
It's cheating if you have stock injectors, an exhaust leak that's giving false AFR readings, or a poorly calibrated sensor.
