I've had JLT intake, Ford racing injectors and a catch can for a little bit now. No CEL on what so ever with my tune. About a month ago put in a xforce xat bad and 2 weeks in CEL for bank 1/2 to rich. .989-.992 lambda mixture . Didn't think adding a cat back would require a tune since its after a sensor not before. No exhaust leaks, air filter is clean. Need some help figuring this out

Thanks in advance

My thoughts exactly . The only think that has changed since I've been getting the CEL is the cat back. I've also tried flashing it back to stock the. Reloading the tune . Was good for a weeks

Could be the change in size. I've seen tuners ask about 3" systems in regards to emissions tunes. While it shouldn't cause an issue, something changed with the exhaust flow.
