So the car is a 2008 speed 3 with catback exhaust and Sri with tip. Yesterday I had installed the aftermarket corksport intake system and drove it on the stage 1+ Access port ots map and ran great. Everything good. Then I drove it for a second time and noticed the afrs are maxed at 29.25 when cruising and idling. If I Decel in gear or rev in neutral the afrs will go back to normal for a few secs then hit its normal 14.85 and get stuck there for a few secs then immediately change to 29.25. I noticed every time it changes to lean my stft will spike to 23s as well which is expected I guess. I thought it may be the intake so I swapped it back to factory except left the tip on. Same thing happens. Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe purge solenoid but never heard of anyone's afrs doing that with a bad purge solenoid
