turbovr41991,

Tell me what rpm's your car needs to start and to keep lean burn. I suspect rpm's are the controlling factor and not speed. I might be able to advise you better with that info.

Also
Often it needs a few seconds at half or two thirds throttle to heat things up. Then if you drop back to max of 19 TPS or about 65 LOD it will then do LB after a few seconds.

And please do try some MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil) in the tank. Bottle says 4 oz per ten gallons, I'm recommending only 2 oz per ten gallons based on experience using it regularly since January 2012.
