Heres the situation. My car has been running EXTREMELY rich lately. Its fine when im cruising around at part throttle...but as soon as i hit the gas it goes rich. And i mean massive black clouds similar to a locomotive, rich. As of right now i have NOTHING to tune the fuel with...not even an fpr. Then only code my car is throwing is the IACV because the S2 IM doesnt have a provision for the FITV.
Heres the complete engine setup:
92 b18a
Rebuilt with all new Honda bearings and seals around 9k miles ago
New water and Oil pumps from Honda
New OEM timing belt
Arp head studs
Exospeed LS909 cams
Skunk2 IM
NGK plugs
MSD wires
Custom 3inch SR intake
Chikara Headers with a massive dent(
)
Shitty exhaust
I think that i skipped a tooth on my exhaust cam. Could the fact that its now insnely retarded(the cam not the car
) be causing it to run so rich? I was thinking that the unburnt fuel isnt getting out of the cc in time at higher rpms and is mixing with the newly injected fuel and causing the rich condition. That could me totally wrong but it makes sense in my crazy head.
Its driving me crazy because i can tell that theres more power there...but all the fuel its dumping is killing it all. It feels really choked up from around 3500rpms and up if im at WOT. Help me out people...this is really starting to **** me off

Ive also noticed that it does it more when its cold. Does the IACV have anything to do with the fuel system after the car is warmed up? I didnt think that it did...but if it does that would explain alot.
ANY help is appreciated
