Okay i my car runs great when i drive it hard but normal driving it runs shitty and at idle it revs for 800-1300. There seems to be oil on the bottom ot the spark plugs or it could be gas. but it is running rich as hell and the spark plugs are black it was throwing code 1 and 9 but after i reset the ecu and drove it it did fine no codes.
My set up is a DOHC ZC turbo run with turbo edit
it ran find until i changed the head gasket
compression test check out good
new HKS metal head gasket
new valve cover gasket and o rings
a/f is running lean at idle like 11.2 or so
but i don't think my o2 is working cuz it reads .92 volts all the time

 

if your o2 got gummed up from some coolant in the exhaust or oil it could be messed up

 

check your pcv

11.2 at idle isnt lean, its pig rich, you need a better tune

 

My tune is fide the car ran prefect before i changed the headgasket.
what could make it run the rich?

 

what is the pcv

the reason why i didnt have any sympathy for u is that...i hate ppl that do all this stuff to their cars but know nothing about them...it seems like u just mod ur car cuz its wut "Everyone is doing"

 

No i know a good amount about Honda's and am will to learn more i knew what a pcv is and dose it just didn't cross my mid as to what it was called till i saw it

and for the ppl that do mod out there car and don't know any thing about them and are willing to learn isn't that what this site is for learning and helping those in need? there was a time when you your self didn't know **** about cars.

any ways that is not what this is about and i am sorry for being rude it just gets to me when ppl on here think they are the **** and can down talk to others about a fairly good question but you are right i should have to the time to search my bad


So if we can ... Back to the topic

last night i checked the tuning on my ecu and its all still good should run like it did before but it runs rich as hell to the point to where if i let it run then pull out the plug they are dripping in gas.

gonna replace the pcv and o2 today
what can i look for along with this

Your tune is obviously not fine if you are running so rich. What are you using to "tune your motor"

 

Timing

turbo edit
i put my stock ecu in and it ran rich at idle as well and the car ran great before i did the head gasket


fule pressure gauge reads like 40 at idle and when i take the vacume line off it only jumps to 43 or so

Timming as in on the dizzy, timing for boost or timing on the timing belt

Check all of the above, you can set it to advanced to retard from the dizzy

 

I checked the timing on the belt and it is good
I played with the timing on the dizzy and it chaged the sound but not the richness
and i ran my stock ecu and it still runs funky

What number did you get when you checked the timing on the belt? it should be +16 I believe

 

How do i get a number?

Don't jump to conclusions. He is asking for help with his car not running right. You don't know about his situation besides the fact that he is asking for help. And what help are you offering him? I didn't see any.

Also, he seems like he knows how to troubleshoot pretty damn good. Most people in the your particular "classification" would just take their car to a shop. And if they came on here asking for help, they would sound like a complete moron and just say "Help, my car isn't running right!" and that would be it. No clues as to what is wrong. Nothing! That obviously isn't the case in this situation. So why don't you take your great 2005 knowledge elsewhere.

So are you saying you check the timing belt with out a timing gun? You get a number from a timing gun

 

no i check for top end center to be lined up with the cams but i am going to a friend house right now cuz i cant find my timing light

 

Check your coil...
