Nothing wrong with idling at 15.8. As long as it's not backfiring.

my 880s start to do that when i get in high 13s. Only my car every other car i have tuned idle solid. Is this normal for 880 @ stock fuel pressure.

Your post says two pwr wires. Not sure how you have it but the the AEM only has 1 power wire.
Red= switched 12v
Black =ground

Blue= serial output back to ecu
White= analog back to ecu

wow alot of stuff just being tossed out there.

Idle is acceptable from 14's to 15's depending on injectors being run some will require 13's for a smooth idle

normal driving conditions should see high 15's down to high 13's in the vacuum range from very light throttle to med throttle at zero vacuum . in boost depending on the.tuner should see 11's to 12's and even 13.0 on low boost applications

in short if he is at 14.7 at idle and it slowly creeps up its due most likely to heat soak of the intake manifold giving the ecu higher intak temp readings and the tune isnt spot on to maintain the 14.7 reading so its leaning out. that being said 15's is fine as long as its not popping

Some injectors just don't like idling lean. Sometimes it's resolved by raising base pressure and or upgrading your injector driver box(peak n hold). Sometimes you just deal with it or use better injectors.

By reading this post I have thought of two things:

The first one is that your wideband is not hooked up properly. The AEM (from what I have seen) is more picky with where you wire the ground. If you do not have a solid ground it wont work properly. Someone may have touched it and messed with it.

or

If your stock o2 is not connected and you are not on Hondata, it will run richer...I believe.

I have seen that the AEM is easier than something like the innovative. That thing is just tough....

i idle my 880s in the low 13's to high 12's at 1000 rpms.

idle quality goes south fast if they lean out into the 14's or upward.

the afr you can run wide open depends on so many variables, seriously.

general rule is go 11's in boost.

i go from 12 flat at vtec crossover to 11.2 at 8800 rpms. stock fuel pressure, 880s, neptune, making about 430whp
