Thread: Running rich.

Yea... used it before. But after the install the maf and intake was sitting around. Might have gotten dirty I hope.

I'm going to clean it up today and set the timing to 19/20 degree's today and see what happens.

I need to figure out why it's running rich... it's killing my plugs and wallet for gas.

Hope you just thinking and not right. Cause that would suck...

if the maf wiser are bad in the ecu wouldnt it go into limp mode?

how did the timing go wayne?

Well went and looked at it while I had sometime... Come to find out that cylinders 1 2 and 3 plugs looks pretty good. But 4 reeked of fuel and was wet. So there is a fireing issue with number 4. I was going to hook up my 99 ecu and see if that helps but I have no idea where it is now. I'm pretty pissed off right about now.... I just hope its the injector. And not the ecu.

I wired my z32 maf improperly and it had no ground at all so it was throwing a constant 5v signal to the ecu. Once I fixed the ground it was fine and has been running great. I doubt your ecu is fried unless you really fuxored the wiring.

Well it's still the DE MAF... nothing major for now. But what really bothers me is that I don't know WTH happened to my 99 ecu. So I have to borrow one from Serban to see if that's the issue. I just hope it didn't become a wiring issue. Once again... my car is not running right and I'm running out of money and time.

Hang in there Wayne.You will get it going.
It will all be worth it when you are done.
You got a lot of guys down there that can help,too.

Well found out that there was a leaky injector in number 4. Small O-ring was ripped to all hell. Fixed that, changed the spark plugs and changed the oil. Gas like hell in the oil from the leak.

Wrapped it all up...took it around the block. Noticed a sluggishness from 2-3K... after that it woke up.

Checked the timing and bumped it to 19*. Now it seems like the slug got bigger. WTF???

IDK what's going on now... I'm going to try to figure it out today along with the brake issue.
