I'm doing a mimi me swap. With a D16z6.

Installed a Blox intake manifold on stock TB.

Right now, its running rich and really high idle.

Seems like the idle is around 4K.

I don't know whats wrong.

I've redid the timing twice already.

Tried adjusting the idle by the idle control screw but still nothing.
Tried the throttle cable. Spark plugs are gapped at 0.44.

-----------------------------

Well I've fixed the high idle, it ended up being the gaskets.

Anyways, the car is running really rich.

I'm thinking either the spark plug or spark plug wire.

I read that you need d16z6 spark plug wire

and d16y8 spark plugs.

I think i have both d16y8 plug and wire.

Will this be the problem why it is running so rich?

Vacuum leak?

 

That's what im thinking but I've checked everything out already.
Doesn't seem like it.



BTW what is the hose on the top far right.
currently I have that one pluged up.

 

i had this problem ( but i dont think THAT high rpm) and it was the hose that ur talking about. It goes ... somewhere.. dont know what its called.. its by the firewall down and to the right of the battery..

 

it's called the charcoal canester and it's for EPA BS

no your spark plug wires arent going to make you run rich.
did you adjust cam timing or ignition timing.
do you have any engine codes
maybe you need a tune

 

Timing should be fine.

I'm thinking maybe a bad ECU?

You mean Cani<U></U>ster?
That "bs" is called your Evap system, and is crucial not only for emisions, but also for fuel economy, Genius.
Without it, you will throw a Check engine light in Obd2 cars, and not pass inspection.
Do some research

 

I didn't catch what kind of mini-me you're doing. A Z6 and what else? What block and what head? WHich timing belt did you use and which injectors?

 

d15b7 block with a z6 head.

z6 timing belt and stock d15b7 injectors.

Taking a Non-VTEC SOHC motor, and putting a SOHC-VTEC head on it.
Under teh FAQ's theres a few write ups and plenty of info

 

bump.

I need the car running, can't drive it around running really rich.

 

i have the same problem. I'm running really rich getting like 6mpg. somethings wrong with my timing too. I'm misfiring and bogging when i start my car up. sometimes when i press the gas pedal, my car just dies.

 

First check the mechanical timing and then the ignition timing with a timing gun.
