Default ls vtec turbo went lean (tuned)

hi, my car was running fine the last half year, suddenly the afr's went to 16-17 in cold start and slowly return to it's normal 13.6 , look for vacuum or fuel
leaks but all is fine. The pump sound like always (walbro 255). The spark plugs
looks fine.

think in replace:
1-fuel pump
2-fuel filter
3-drain the tank
4-burn a new chip

any help, thanks

Mine does that sometimes but only momentarily. How slowly is slowly? Are you running a basemap only?

That's just idling yes? Mine starts at 14.7. Sometimes it starts lean but only while idling. I would be worried if it STAYS there. To be safe call the tuner and ask.

Do you have an AEM wideband? Mine used to do that all the time on startup it would read high then come back down. I cleaned the sensor and that seemed to help.
