I do not run greys car leaner than that at idle, because the spray pattern of a grey is very poor and due to the variation in idle fueling caused by heat soak and hot restart, a greys YB mapped leaner than 4 - 5% CO will at times idle poorly.
Morning Karl,

Thanks very much for that - I think I will leave it till I see you on 17th May
Its one of your chips


BTW - how would I fare MOT time with idle co @ 4%?
