Default Re: car running rich (4gnhatch)

How does he know it's been running rich? Has he pulled the plugs? That's the only real way to tell how the motor is running. If he is running rich, I would change out the plugs, wires, etc. Give the car a little tune up. Check timing. For best mpg on the EM1, have the timing set around 16. More infor will be needed for a more specific answer.
