Okay so I am kinda new here for posting so I am hoping some of you guys can help me out.

First of all I am having cold start up issues with the car but not too bad. The main concerns I am having though is the idle of the motor when warm. When the car reaches operating temps the motor has a rough, possibly hunting, idle. Also when the car is warmed up I have noticed that it is running really rich and not only that but it is also backfiring when the motor is revved up. I have no clue at where to even start with these issues so let me know what you all think.

Coolant temperature sensor. The ECU is still running in the cold fuel map when warm. Though not guaranteed, I bet a good bit that's the culprit.

I had a similar problem, found out that when we did the swap we rewired the Coolant Temp Sensor on the ECU wrong.
