the AFC cant tunethe ECU.. it fools the ECU so in other words you cant tune it then take it out it needs to stay in there. taking it out puts the car back to stock

yep. white = lean and/or coolant aka quite possibly your head gasket is gone. run a compression test.

black = rich. pull your plugs an check em out too
