yeah probably a good idea since a pr4 is for a 1.8L.

I have same problem, but different engine.

I think the injector is sticking open for a nano-second too long.

Some seafoam seemed to solve the problem, thoguh.

Check your injectors, make sure you have the correct injector size. Like someone stated above, try using a PG7 ecu instead of the PR4. The PR4 might be sending out too much fuel for your 1.6L. Remember PR4 is meant for a 1.8L dohc motor.
