On E85? If so, you should be able to get those to idle in the mid 14's. What are you changing to lean it out?

What fuel, and what injectors do you have.
Big injectors are alot harder to idle low.
My ID2200's idle around 1000 and sit in the 11.4 range. I lean it out, and it coughs, and hiccups, drop it down, baby smooth.

Yes, e85.
The fuel map where it idles.

Most of your idle is made up with injector latency/offset/dead time. You'll have much better results playing with that constant than you will with the fuel map itself.
IPW = Injector Latency + commanded fuel.

Appreciate the tip, anything particular / specific I should look into?

To determine the problem we need more information.
Was the car tuned and running fine and all of a sudden started to run rich? Or had you tuned it and then the problem with the rich idle came after that? How are you measuring your AFRs, if you have a gauge in the car why did the tuner decide to use his sniffer rather than your WBO2 (I'm assuming that you are running a wideband, if it isn't then you are almost better off guessing)?
If you do think that the injectors are leaking then take them out and get them tested.

Any solution on this?
I have the same problem.
N/A car, tuned. I do have an AEM UEGO wideband..
Tuner said that (maybe) not all cylinders get the proper fuel and this causes the afr to fluctuate at idle. So he set it to be really rich 10.5-11.5 to avoid rough idle..
What are the main causes for cylinders to not receive the same fuel?
1) bad/dirty injectors (?)
2)
3)
Any ideas?
