First of all are u getting check engine light on? If so i would get the code scanned then start from there.

Good Luck.

Black is rich, blue is oil.

Really the only thing I can think of that wouldn't throw a code would be your FPR malfunctioning. Other than checking your fuel pressure or scanning for codes (maybe your MAP going bad).... tunning is really the only way I can think of to "adjust" it.

No adjustment. Its too rich. Double check your MAP sensor on a scantool and verify it is working correctly.

yeah, no cat will increase your carbon exhaust quite a bit....

put one on, problem solved.

Not saying that the cat is not the problem, but i haven't had a cat on my car for over a year and i haven't got one puff of smoke yet out my exhaust (minus the sea foam experiment)
