I honestly don't know what to Title this...Idle/Running/AFR/Everylight On

Dunno how to explain this all so I'll just lay it all out.

So yesterday me and the wife went for a little joy ride after I refoamed/sealed up my radiator and we got some redlines in and I took a log cause it was "bogging" but other than that everything was great. Well I let a friend (9krpmrx8) take a look at the log cause he knows way more about everything about everything than I do. Come to find out I'm running rich. Real rich. Like bottomed out at 9.8 rich. Well took our baby home, cooled her down and parked her.

This morning I woke up and took out my intake, cleaned my MAF, took out the intercooler pipe to the TB, Unhooked the Synapse recirc BOV, just over all making sure everything was good and tight and no leaks. Also during this process I unhooked the battery. (Also put the airtray back in) Put everything back together, did the brake stomp and TRIED to start her up. Well she turned over, started, but almost instantly died. RPMs went up and down like it was cool and died. So I tried again and revved it some. Oh lord it sounded bad. I had white smoke out of the exhaust and she didn't wanna really rev.

It's worse with the MAF plugged in. Won't rev past 3k. But if i unplug the MAF it will at least idle.



With MAF plugged in:




WITHOUT MAF plugged in:
