Fuel related questions
So, I have another question for you guys. I have been trying to figure out why my car runs rich in cylinder 4 and lean in cylinder 1. Cylinder 1 spark plug show as if it's running lean. Cylinder 2 a little more black soot than 1. Cylinder 3 is black and running more rich than the 3rd and cylinder 4 is by far the worst. Is this a normal thing in a dual-port fuel injected D15B2? While I'm on the subject of fuel related things, is there some kind of limiter in my setup? When I try to floor it in first gear I get no response but in second gear I give it gas and it revs up and takes off. If you guys have any information on any of my random questions any advice like always is always appreciated.

Fix all CEL codes, do an ignition system tune up, and compression test the cylinders. Then go from there.

I should've mentioned that I have no check engine lights on, but did have one come on randomly 3 times and went away immediatly. It smells like it's running rich, drives pretty normal for as long as I have had it. Just noticed it smelled rich pulled plugs and sure enough the plugs say it all. Also, the plugs are new less than 350 miles on those. My plug wires are new and my distributor is all good as well that's why i was stumped. Sorry was in a rush earlier didn't describe the situation good enough.

Do the compression test to evaluate the core health of the engine.

I'll do a compression test today. I'm replacing my motor and transmission mounts today, so I'll do that while I'm in there. I didn't know that an ODB 0 can store codes. Thanks for the info sir.
