Hey Guys, here is the rundown....

I was driving around one morning and everything was fine. Stopped at the bar in the afternoon for a drink with some friends and it rained really hard. I got back into my car afterwards and all of a sudden i was running stupidly rich... like driving low 10s to 7.4. and idling at 8s. ??? wtf..? I tried starting the car a few hours later and still the same thing. Anyone got any ideas?

Running a S2 AEM. At first i thought my wideband got wet and wasnt reading right. But next day same thing as well.

Friend of mine said it could be my "Long term fuel trims"... I have no idea what that is since i do not tune at all.
Should i just get a retune done with my tuner?

Thanks for any input

I realize this thread is about 6 weeks old, but was wondering if you found the solution?

my LC-1 had either gotten wet or stopped reading properly. replaced with AEM wideband and waiting for re-tune when my tuner has some time available. havnt gotten a chance to really test it out yet because work and school is keeping me super busy

Could possibly have a bad coolant sensor also.
