What cells I need to change when running RICH @ idle?

Hey I did a search nothing really seems to match what I am looking for. Anyway I copied a bunch of a forum member (arghx) post and still can't find what I need. Anyway car runs very rich at after it's warmup my aem wideband shows 12.6, and there is allot of fumes smell and sometimes a lingering hint of blueish smoke everything shows signs that it's burning very rich. I Yes i put new plugs only got 5 miles and when removed then the trailing are wet and black, Leading are black but dry, I did check for spark all coils are function and fianlly I put new taylor wires on. Also I still have my air pump and acv both system that are working properly Anyway I have on other post where u can lean out certain cells but those mention when crusing, I just want to lean it out for idle.
Thanks
Khris

down load the commander manual from apexi website if you haven't all ready.

Look at pg 17, and follow. It will show you what cells your running in at idle.
Go up in #'s to lean out. don't lean out your car to a majic #, but to where the car runs best, every car is diff.

Hey thanks, it appears that only p1 to p5 and n1 to n3 is only use at idle, I check my air/fuel setting and they all showing 214 for all of those see, if I go higher that would mean it will it get much richer, according to another post by aghx he mention to reduce it and I think gonna try both ways to see if anything changes.

I have the same problem, but i think i may have a bad primary injector leaking by. Going to try and take a look at it later in the week.

resetting the PFC changes the tune. it puts it back to where it was out of the box.

My car was having the same problem.. It ended up being because there wasnt enough resistance going to the injectors.. So I had a honda resistor box wired in.. Before my tuner could change the tune, but it wasnt getting any real results.. The injectors were getting too much juice.

Reading the manual a few times will increase you knowledge of what the PFC can do.
It should have been the first thing newbs should do!
Arrrggghhhh!
