    I've done a few tests on my 2010 Tacoma, im the 3rd or 4th owner of the the truck and i'm not entirely sure what has been done to it. Its running a ratio of about 9.8 while driving regularly and when you get on the gas it goes down to about 8.4. I get terrible gas mileage and I really want to fix it. Any ideas? I do have an exhaust on it but I imagine it would affect it that much when it's supposed to be about 14.7.

    How are you getting the ratio? Lambda?
    That’s so low you’d be triggering warning lights and possibly a flashing engine light.

    It’s fine, running a little lean, clean maf and throttle plate. Check trims after.

    10% up and Down is acceptable
