I bet you can tell I've never been to your neck of the woods.

Thanks Mike!

Update: I've been dealing with an ultra high fuel trim (30 to 34 long term with 16-28 short term) which says I have a really lean condition. For those who don't know (like I didn't) the fuel trims should be close to 0, but never more than about +/- 10. Negative is rich, positive is lean.

Research says I have either unmetered air (vacuum leak) or lack of fuel (low pressure). I've removed and reinstalled the intake, added a fuel pressure sensor from Dakota Digital (61.7 psi at idle), and replaced the MAF sensor in case it was dirty and giving a bad reading. None of these things changed the trims.

I'm contacting my tuner to see if he made an adjustment for the cold air intake since it's a 3.5" tube. I don't know what the van would have had, but I bet it wasn't that large. I'm also trying to borrow a smoke tester to check for leaks, but I'm waiting for now.

If anyone has any ideas I should try, I'm all ears (or eyes since I'll be reading them).
