Once mine was converted, it was 0.3% at idle - very lean!!!
Get it setup as it running very rich at idle

When it was on MFi it wouldnt of left my workshop running more than 3.5% depending on what mods it had and power it was capable of.

Matt, in general most people who do the EFi conversion on their own ends up with issues similar to what you have with co readings off the scale and the system not working as it should.

This is mainly down to people not using the correct loom and not wiring it in to the car properly, using secondhand parts that dont work and cant be checked easy etc..

I would advise having it checked out before you damage anything.

When Jamsport set my mfi s2 up, they set the co to 9%!

Jano all the online guides say the ofac/ofab is plug and play with an EFi XR3i loom... Ive been through the wiring diagrams and there don't appear to be any differences on Ofac and three wires to swap on ofab

Yes I thought it should be an allen screw aswell actually oh well not to worry as so far its never needed to be adjusted in last 2 years of ownership
