[s-cars] UrS4 running Lean fuel mixture

[Dave Tremblay]

 I just swapped the fuel pump with a good oem unit. Same damn result! At this point i'm really suspecting a bad maf..everything fuel-wise as been changed.
 
Next week i'll try another maf(RS2). Until then, i will continue searching the problem.
