Default crx runs lean under acceleration, please help!

ok heres my problem, i bought an a/f ratio gauge to discover that the car runs very rich at idle, and also idles at like 2500, and under heavy acceleration goes almost all the way lean, then when shifting in between gears it goes all the way rich. and its obvious that only at wot that it leans out. under normal acceleration it stays rich, and at crusing speeds its in the middle of ideal, so its perfect. why is my car leaning out at wot? could it be the tps sensor?

Those things are notoriously inaccurate, you might as well install christmas lights in your cabin. Don't worry about it unless you have a lot of modifications and have done nothing to tune it, or buy a wideband that actually reads out in numbers instead of colours.

WTF is drkslayer talking about?

It's an AIR intake, Not a LIQUID intake!
