Today I reloaded my tune (long write) and adjusted some options to remove the burbles. This was my first time doing this…
Now after restart my STFT2 is pegged at 34% , bank 1 is hovering pretty high as well at 9.5%. Also the Lambda for Bank 2 is sitting at 37 but bank 1 is normal. Car was cold, but I don’t want to warm it up with it running that lean.
Any idea why this would happen all of the sudden?

Edit : removed things like burbles, loud startup. I'm not 100% sure how all of the other settings were but the only other things enabled were linear throttle mapping and ECA sensor

I would guess that there's a typo in your tune. I assume you self tuning, can you do a compare vs an older revision and make sure you didn't change something accidentally?

I think MHD made changes in later versions of their software where they just use the bank 1 tables for both banks so I don't know how you would get one bank under-fuelling like that.

I don't self tune .... it's the same tune file from my tuner that has been on the car for the past couple of years ....

Is this the first time you've flashed since the MHD+ logic was added? It seems to me it's an issue with the lambda tables which was something that was changed when they added MHD+ for the N54.
You might have to ask the tuner to update the file.

I would imagine, but I'm not sure when MHD+ was changed ... just got the car in January. I received the files from Previous owner.
Currently I have been in contact with the previous tuner but have not rehired him (which he requires ... understandably). I just wanted to change the options and get rid of the burbles and loud start .... previous owner settings were a bit much for my likes. When doing this I thought I had to reinstall the tune.

All I can suggest is flashing back to stock to see if that fixes the lambda control. If so then you've got a problem in the tune.

Bank 2 is not getting enough fuel, clogged injector or something like that considering its pi.
The car was running fine yesterday evening - the only changes were made to the options when reloading the same tune. The issue right now is only at idle and I doubt the PI is even providing fuel at idle.
