Running lean + backfire
OK so heres the deal. When i start up my car with the engine cool (left overnight) it normally starts right up and idles smoothly with an afr at about 14.1 to 14.8. IT drives smoothly too until the engine warms up. Then i get a extremely lean idle higher than 18 where my aem wideband just displays three dashes across it. At this time the car also begins to idle roughly and stalls. Under partial throttle it sputters and on the deceleration it backfires and shoots flames alot. however once i punch the throttle afr's are normal 10.8-11.6 and it accelerates smoothly. But once i begin to idle again the problem continues. i pulles a code from the ecu and it was 1 3 which i believe is CTS, when i changed it, i still got the same code.
if it helps my mods are : redtop sr20det, stock t25, FMIC, megan racing manifold, 3" dp (no flex pipe), 3" apexi N1 catback, megan racing FPR, walboro 255 lph, SAFC (tuned @ ivey tune) boost at 14 lbs via halman MBC, koyo radiator, turbo XS RFL bov, z32 maf so far: i have set the timing at 15 degrees BTDC according to FSM changed coolant temp sensor changed fuel filter set Decel air settings on SAFC (to compensate for atmospheric BOV) checked visually for vaccum leaks changed valve cover and spark plug gaskets set IACV also at WOT i am not losing boost. ANY input would be appreciated

have you pressure tested your setup?
what about taking the SAFC out of the equation alltogether, and then seeing how she works?

my fuel pressure is right around 43 psi @ idle
no i havent, i have a pressure tester and an air compressor but the tester doesnt fit on my intake pipe, i guess ill have to buy a reducing coupler to make it fit ill also take out my fuel pump and take a look at the sock, how often should these be replaced/cleaned as for the suggestion about the safc, do you mean set everything to zero % correction? wouldnt that definately cause me to run lean?

check your TPS voltage. I adjusted my tps voltage to .5v at idle it doesn't sputter or backfire. Another good idea is to recirc your bov. That will solve most of your sputtering and backfiring during deceleration.

So i went and took a look at the fuel pump sock. its a little brown. I took it out and poured water on it to see how clogged it was, and i guess it was somewhat cloggy but not alot, i guess ill change it and see what happens though. heres some pics
ohh yea and while i was doin that i F'ed up my the 0-ring gasket , now gas spills when ever the car is on, so ill be on my way to the dealership in the morning to fix that. heres a pic of that

same happened to me with theO ring. i cut it evenly and stretched a bit then i apply clear silicone. that solved my o ring problem. i did it that way cause it was friday. otherwise i would it get a new one. its holding pretty good. over 2 months
and on the other problem u r having, something similar is happening to me but the other way. im having cold start problems. car cold cars iddle very bad wideband display 000 or ---- lean as fuck. cars get warm then cars fix himself . we didnt run the in and out hoses on the throttle body on this setup just to get away of the hot air going inside manifold (from hot water) but i cant take this cold start problem anymore so im going to connect those water hoses tomorrow and see if it fix the cold start problem.
