This is what I've done. 1 changed out plugs. 2 cleaned and changed out the IAC 3 cleaned and changed out the MAF 4 cleaned the TB 5 checked for air leaks can't find any. 6 swapped the PCM with a knowen good one no help. The car is running very rich. Any help would be great. Sorry forgot also cleaned injectors. Last edited by andycontour; 06/25/03 12:32 AM.

If so, check fuel pressure (about 35psi at idle - not 45). A crushed return line can also raise fuel pressure. A bad ECT sensor might cause this. Be sure to change the oil if it smells of gas!
