lean it out 1/8 to 1/4 depending on how rich the engine is and tell us how it is running. Try not to run cars gas so low that it creates the lean running condition. Alsways refuel before that.

STI, I wouldn't bother too much about the poor performance at the beginning of the tank. It is because the engine is cold, the engine runs richer. When I start mine of from cold, I do a couple of slow laps around the car park and use the time as a warm up to refresh my driving skills (I only go driving about once every 3 weeks ). Once you are ready, hold it at WOT for a couple of lengths and do alot of quick jabbing and inconsistency on the throttle (NOTE: NEVER do this right at the beginning, always allow the engine to warm up using smoothe, slow throttle inputs and not going above about 1/2 throttle.), this should loosen up everything and get it running real nice. If, however, the car feels sluggish on EVERY start up, even when the engine is warm, then you have an entirely different problem...
