Default afr readings

took my car for mapping the other week but couldnt get it finnished off due to a slight misfire,anyway found out that some of my wiring was a bit dodgey so i rewired all my engine bay cheaked all the outputs with a set of testers all good everything is sitting around the 13.6 mark,what i was wondering is since i did my wiring my afr reading have gone for the 12's to 10.5 is this a good thing and meaning that all my wiring is working better or is it worse
what do u think

it should be around 14 on idle off boost and 11.5 is spot on on boost, if its 10.5 on idle its very rich

Well it may mean that a sensor was not reading before (coolant/air) or it could mean its not reading now???? its hard to say either way mate if you see what i mean. Best thing to do is re-check every thing with a continuity meter (multimeter on beep). What part of your loom was 'dodgy' before?

The misfire will cause a lean condition. You have fixed the misfire and now your afr has got richer.
