The problem is not running too lean, it's not running lean enough. Egt temps are only high right about 15-16 to 1 under load. Higher than 16-1 actually run cooler. Nevertheless, unless you have an egt gauge and a wide band sensor you can't tell what you are running. Careful

This is totally false, I sure hope no one melts their pistons because of misinformation like this..... I really don't understand why people insist on commenting on a subject they obviously know nothing about...

in fact i have just installed one of those o2 Extenders in my front o2 sensor and my car not only has idle problems but also my EGT has displayed for first time around 780 Cº of combustion temperature!! , so now may i try using EFIE?? , to be honest i dont like to much the idea of keep on playing with the air/fuel mixture, it is risky , do i have anoter alternative to start taking advantage of my hho cell??

Many Thanks & Rgrds
