Exclamation suddenly running super rich!! please help..

so my car has been runnin great so far...just your typical hicups for a 6 port turbo....it still had its rich spots but the other day it got really bad...right beforethe secondary injectors kick on it gets reaslly bad...9:9 to 9:4 at 3K up till the secondaries kick on...then its fine...i dont know why it started this but its a recent NEW problem...the secondaries are fine as far as richness and it only starts at 3K RPM's...i have my safc turned to -40 right now at 3K and still get get it any leaner....i even changed the NE point on the SAFC...it was 3,600 i think and now i have it at 3200 and its still bloody rich...what is going on????
it just started getting really nice out if that matters??? from 40-50 ish to 60-70 ish...

I'd check the AFM
Clip an ohmmeter on the AFM & work the flap.
The resistance values should start around 150-200, the go up in steps to around 550-600 ohms as the door opens, then near the full open end of the stroke, it may drop back to 400.
It seems weird that the sweep is non-linear, but the 3 working AFM's I tested all did that.

To begin, I really wouldn't go yanking -40% out of your fuel map especially under load. Did the power change at all when this happened? Does it hiccup/do anything strange at that time?

Get a standalone? What do you expect us to do for you? It's not all that difficult, start with the normal crap (check every sensor, replace plugs, clean your injectors, etc).

The only time I have ran into this is with the following items.

AFM
Injectors
Injector wiring.
