HELP! Too much fuel?
I have an '03 A4 with 40K, Blackwing and Corsa Exhaust. Everything else is pretty much stock.
No edit tune, OEM plugs/wires, etc
I had a diag. run today and it says I'm getting almost +10% fuel on accel.
What's the common cause? Remedy?
At warm start up and on decel. my idle dips below 500 and it seems to bog down for 2 seconds, but then everything goes back to normal.
I'm thinking about doing an off dyno edit, but I don't want to throw 250.00 into this and find out it's a fouled injector.
One guy suggested he thought I was getting too much air from the BW.
PLEASE ADD INPUT. TIA.

Hey Dave,
Every time my coupler came loose or air got in in-between my MAF and my TB it did this. For instance if the coupler comes loose at the TB it will do this. As soon as I retightened mine down, it went away. I always knew when it was coming undone cause my idle would start to act funny.

UPDATE: Thanks Jeff! I think it did the trick at the TB! Anyway to keep this tightened??? It's almost just flopping around.
