Back to cars- I did smoke test in a way that smoke was pumped in to untake boot and all was found - little rubber cap had cracked. Is there a better smoke entrance point that could show me issues with different cuicut?
Sorry, I did not mean to come off like this was specifically toward you. I am very aware that dealing with different languages and cultures can sometimes be a bit tricky.

I was not referencing "your" failure to communicate, I was referencing the softwares failure to communicate due to the way the software developers referenced the specific mixture condition. I believe the problem is part a language translation error from German and the point of view of the developer. Kind of like is the glass half empty or half full, it is just the way the person may view the world.

Anyway, I did not want you to get off track and you or others following this thread think there was now a "Rich" mixture problem. Luckily this is not the the first time I have dealt with this point of view problem.

Still the same Lean problems you had in the beginning.

You may still have some form of a vacuum leak, even from the crankcase or even the power brake booster. Often you need to open the oil fill cap and fill the crankcase with smoke, then put the oil fill cap back on and start looking for smoke leaks. Often performing smoke testing when it is darker and using a strong flashlight is another way to look for leaks.

This fluid pump is a good tool for making a smoke test.

See if you can find this pump at your local auto parts store - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=sr_1_3&sr=8-3

Freeze Frame data is very useful when trying to resolve fuel mixture problems. As I mentioned the OBDII smart phone/tablet Apps are very good for driveability problems. OBDFusion is the App I like to support people with. They have BOTH an Adroid and iProduct App.

I also just re-read everything from the beginning and see that you have not had the vehicle very long.

I would be verifying the O2 sensors are plugged in to the correct engine bay connector and also make sure the O2 sensor wiring has not been spliced at some point.

I find the O2 sensor wiring swapped bank to bank often and the O2 sensor signals are polarity sensitive and if the wiring is spliced or "universal" O2 sensors that need to connector form the original O2 sensor spliced can be connected backwards and drive you crazy trying to resolve problems that are out of the norm.
