Is it okay to drive the Supra if running rich and low on idle?

I recently had the Supra remapped and I did think it drove funny on the way home but to cut the story short.

The mapper agree to look at the map and see why its running rich and idling very lumpy with low idle and sometime even stall after low idling for a while.

 

So I was wondering since I drove back will it be safe to drive to the mappers and let him have a look or should I just call a recovery truck?

 

There is no miss fire and once the Supra is up and running around 2k+it seems fine and everynow and again it feels jerky.

Well obviously it isn't ideal, but I did drive my Supra whilst it was running majorly rich and in limp mode 2+ hours to the mappers and it was fine, rolled out happy as ever and running the correct AFR's, didn't seem to cause any damage. If you don't want to risk it then have it trailered but it should be okay for a one-off :)

What's the guy who mapped the car think?

 

He said without seeing in person he dont know for sure.I said to him what I wrote on here. There's no misfire.

Then he did say SHOULD be okay. But i am a little worried so just wondering if people drove there Supra before in similar condition

2+ hours , then from your example i should be fine. I driving 40mins away :D in boost the AFR is fine. Its literally on idle its funny.

 

The thing is I drove back from the mappers so should be fine to drive back if I drove carefully.

 

I wouldn't worry about it then mate, just keep it off boost
