    what motor do you have? if you have an ETA and have an "I" comp that might cause some serious issues.

            What all did you swap over to run the I DME?

            Are you running the I or E intake manifold?

            The more descriptive you are with your setup, the more we will be able to help.

              02 sensor. You should have the lambda code 1221 tho. Mine did the exact same thing, runs great at cold but poor idle when fully warm. Replaced o2 sensor and mpg and idle quality back to normal.

              Also vacuum leak might be possible, try a smoke test.

                All I swapped over was the afm, idle control valve, tps, and I'm running the E manifold.. I don't have the o2 sensor
