Default Unsteady air/Fuel ratio causing overloading

So, i have a 98 gst with greddy 18g turbo and safc-2 and many other upgrades, my problem is that my car is not keeping a steady air/fuel ratio, it will go lean for like 2 seconds then it will stick and rich for 2 and then back again and it is causeing fuel overload and is running like crap, so if anyone has dealt with something like this please let me know it would help alot thanks.

Is this reading from a wideband? If this is from you narrowband, that doesn't say anything to me. It almost sounds like an idle issue. Listen to your car and besides stating that it runs like crap, tell us how it sounds, what it's doing, blah, blah.

Which BOV and bosst controller do you have? Have you checked for boost leaks?

when is it doing this. At what rpms or is it just at idle that you have the problem. Need some more info. On a norrowband it is supposed to go back and forth at idle

sounds like idling issues of your reading through a narrow band. way to vague of details.

and what do you mean running like crap? bogging, not enough boost? too rich? feels like it sputurs?


let us know so that we may help
