how do i get my car to not run so rich. is there some thing i can adjust to lean it out?

 

oh yeah its a dohc zc

 

someone told me that i need to buy a diff fpr (like aem) and a gauge to read where it sits. now do i have to do that or is there a way to adjust it stock

 

bump...someone out there has to be able to help me

are you running the stock ECU?

check your fuel pressure to see if you're dumping too much fuel... but it seems kind of unlikely. how do you know you're running rich? are you sure you're running rich? what afrs are you running?

at worst you can run some kind of EMS.

 

im running the pg6 ecu...and i can tell im running rich cause you can smell it is...

 

try another ecu like the zc one or the 88-89 integra ecu, and also have you tried a different oxygen sensor? Do you have a gutted cat. converter?

 

pg6's are known to run a lil rich...do ya have a pm6...i would try dat.....go on ebay..they sell cheap like 40 buck.....cheeck ur 02 sensor...plugs cap rotor wires....even change ur oil....do a nice clean tune up and see if it helps....are u runnin so rich that its blowin out black or grey smoke?

 

no not that rich...it doesnt smoke at all...its jsut enough so you can smell it...i just am worried about passing emissions so i want to get it fixed...isnt the pg6 ecu the 88-89teg if its not that what i meant i have

 

pg6, no its a pg7 and that ecu runs good wit that motor i think it runs leaner than the pm6. check your ignition timing maybe its not timed correctly and your getting alot of raw fuel out the tail pipe

 

smelling like gas doesnt necessarily mean you're running rich. My car smelled like gas before I got a new catalytic converter.

 

Cant you usaully tell if your running to rich by looking at the ends of your sparkplugs? If there's black burn marks on the plug besides the very tip like, on the white part that's how you can tell your running to rich. Just check your fuel pressure and See if it's ok.
