Default I NEED HELP! Car stalls after warm up.............

Turbo techs I need your help. Once my car gets up to normal operating temperature, it starts dumping fuel to the point where the car won't idle rev at all. The a/f guage goes strait to 10.0 and the car just dies. What could be causing the car to run so rich? This problem started all of a sudden two weeks ago. Anyone give me some suggestions please.

So I disconnected the battery and let the car sit overnight. The car ran fine a normal for 4 days and now it's back to dumping fuel and stalling out. I really need some opinions guys .

I'd wait till a more knowledgeable person answers your question.

But from my experience, I had some of the aem ems wires tied close together, and one of the wires was getting interence or shortening from somewhere.

At operating temps my car would stall out.

All that had to be done, was straighten the wires and making sure nothing would cause interence/shortening.

Jefftsai solved my problem...

Bump! I got my car tuned again and still the same problem. The car stalls (after dumping too much fuel) after idleing for less than 5 minutes. I really need some help. My mechanic can't figure it out and my tuner can't figure it out either. Any suggestion anyone?
