A V-afc has to tuned by an experienced professional on a dyno. Or you can get a wide band o2 senor and try to do it yourself. Theres alot of info on this site about it. Use the search link in the upper right hand corner of the screen to find out more info. Good Luck!

best suggestion I could give you would be to take it to a shop and let them tune it...hands down.

it takes alittle experience and understanding to tune with an afc.

look up the closest shop with a dyno...if they have a dyno they should be able to give you a decent tune (im assuming you have basic bolt ons, and not a turbo, if you have a turbo or aftermarket cams recearch a good tuner)

They're actually quiet easy to tune, you just need to do it right, and somewhat know what you're doing.

My 1st time tuning a friends car came out to a pretty good sucess. He was really happy with the outcome, as I was happy also. Seeing it was my 1st real tuning experience, and it came out to a good success.

Hard part is getting ahold of or buying a WB02 sensor. Otherwise your just guessing. I know it looks like a toy but you could do damage, its not a toy.

Well you have a VX, but im guessing you converted to a 4 wire o2, so you dont have one anymore.
