yeah, that's what's supossed to happen. Your seeing 20.9% O2. no fuel.
Mimime, is your crossover leaking? maybe a fuel leak? Jump F/P and GND, and then clamp the return line down. That will raise the pressure to about 120psi.

Thank Brianeack,
I thought about crossover leak, but I could not identify any problem with it. I'll see if I could get a gauge and test the fuel system under load condition. Reving it in neutrel till 7krpm was not enough... no problem there.

take three seconds and see if the fuel lines or injectors leak under pressure....at least you'll know. (i've had mine only leak at 115psi, 100psi and no leaks)
then go out so a hydraulics store....spend about $4-10 and a gauge and fittings and watch how you fuel pressures behave under load.

got my plugs thru the post today (NGK's)
fittedthem this eve.
Te old ones were whire...not black as I had anticipated whcih means the car is running lean......****.
Anyway took her for a spirited drive and there is no hesitation at ALL.

The Large black nipple is still in place!
AFM brushes- I have never token the AFM apart, where could I find more instruction as to looking at the AFM brushes?
Thanks Olderguy!!

When the AFM signal is erratic, it can really play hell with an Emanage because the erratic signal must be constantly read and interpolated, using up processor time. If the brushes are loose against the contact strip, the voltage can drop intermittantly to -0- causing a flood of fuel with or without Emanage being used.
The black pad on top of the AFM can be removed by carving out the sealant around it and lifting it out. It is better to do this on a table with good lighting than in the car, but if readily accessable in the car, may be done there. You also need access to the flapper door to move it back and forth.
Inside, there is a wiper brush that moves along a contact strip as the flapper door is moved. These contacts can be cleaned with alcohol.
Then, there is a hex head screw holding the wiper assembly on the shaft that turns with the flapper door. This screw can be loosened and the whole assembly pushed down the shaft so that the brushes push harder against the contact strip. Tighten the screw, replace the black pad and fill in to re-seal it with either hot glue or rubber cement.

If you gradually get up to 4800-5200rpm with out going into boost are you stull having the problem? You could also try disconnecting the vac. line to the vortech when you do this, just stay out of boost!
Put of fuel pressure gauge in there before buying a new coil pack. I'm willing to bet the issue is too much fuel.

I thought that at first, and used another FPR (linear FPR). Same thing happens, I will disconnect all AFPR, and just run the OEM FPR and see how that goes.
I'll be damned if both AFPR fails! great way to start off my year! sigh...
BTW... what it feels like when the car is lean out too much or wooping rich around 5000rpm range?
