Oh, I see. I agree. That's why I was asking if they thought the Tuning Shop could do it. I'm not even cutting wires to install my gauges!!! I'm having the shop do the gauges and the oil pan. I'll do everything else. I dont' like messing with electricity.

Just thought you all would like to read this post on the AEM forum:

Re: F/IC Installation Notes: Scion tC 05-06
« Reply #2 on: Today at 03:35:27 PM »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installed and tuned one today. After an hour or so of fooling around with it I got a pretty good handle on getting the correct fuel corrections. After the tuning session was all said and done, the car picked up 37.5whp and 27torque Totalling 285whp and 300.7 TQ.(Uncorrected). It is a Turbonetics kit running a Unichip and APEX-i NEO. A bonus with this FIC is that the car can be adjusted to idle a bit richer making it much smoother. (something the owner has disliked about the car since it was new)

This is a question/comment to DelSolid
I had a local shop instll the FIC yesterday and after it was tuned and complete all was good except once in awhile my afr's would go rich for no reason, meaning we did not make a change and then we would make another run and the problem would go away.
Now this morning on my way to work my AFr's were rich (in the 10's) and beyond (below 10.0) and the car stumbled badly and did not fix itself like on the dyno. Any ideas?

also if you are just crusing at normal speed, and your car goes rich. it ma just be a random missfire. check your plugs too. they may need to be re-gaped.

Check your long term fuel trim... it may have changed since you were on the dyno and this would change your open loop (aka WOT) tune.

Could this be just the ECU making corrections? Is this problem happening the day after your tune or daysss after your tune? The ECU seems like it takes a while to learn
