Do a search under this forum using the word "rich" and "MAF". You should come up with this discussion a few time.

I was involved in a few of those discussions. Basically, (and check other posts) you want to change you MAF tables. Now there is a lot to being rich so just don't go changing because we say so. Make sure that nothing else is causing your situation (leaking headers etc. etc. -check posts).

GL and tell us if you cannot find what u are looking for.

My car was also running rich, so with Tunercat, I increased the size of my injectors, effectivly tricking the computer into spraying LESS fuel... Mixed my problem perfectly!!

While there must be a reason for the car running rich, I have yet to find it And this is just a bandit for the problem and with any luck it isn't causing any harm, but I know of multiple people on here that have fixed this same issue this way...

Of course, do this at your own risk
