Ok, I just installed the euro injection system, and when I have it adjusted so that I run stoich when I'm cruising, the car runs lean at idle and deceleration. Is it ok, or even normal for a car to run lean at idle? Is this going to destroy my car if it runs lean for the 10 mins that I warm it up in the morning? Thanks for the help guys....

I would experiment a bit with the mixture setting. How does the car feel at full throttle?
Try going a little richer, you can always lean it back out. If you had a tailpipe sniffer, it'd be helpful.

I have an air/fuel meter, and it is rich at full throttle, but lean when decelerating or idling....very lean. I just wanna know if this will destroy my engine. I also need to know how hot the WUR needs to get, maybe this is why things are a little weird...it's not mounted on the block, it's just near the head. I have a 2.016v

What else does your engine have? If you have some cams, headwork, etc it will probably run better if you fatten it up a bit. I would just tune it for the smoothest idle I could get. Start lean, barely bump it rich till it starts to miss. Back it off a hair. Rev it and allow it to settle out between tweaks.
