Default Car is missing and running rich

I posted a previous thread about a problem with my car but i am reposting a new thread with more knowledge. My car is misfiring and running rich. I did a fresh rebuild on the ls motor in my obd2 teg. It was missing b4 the rebuild but i am stumped. The computer is throwing 3 sets of codes.

Random Misfire in cylinder 3 and 4
Random Misfire in Multiple Cylinders
and code p0113 which is the IAT

The car only misses while its idleing. Runs fine. I am stumped until i did the code reading. Will the IAT cause this many problems. I am basically running stock execpt with I/H/E and test pipe.

I have already changed plugs, wires, and injectors. I am leaning towards the dizzy right now but before i spend 300 bux on a dizzy i want more info and input.

Pull the spark plugs again and inspect.. You could of fouled them

What ecu are you running..

Are you running a FPR or fuel pressure gauge?

Does anyone think it might be the computer? Whenever i reset the computer the car runs fine for like 2 minutes and then it starts to act up all the time.

typical of bad wires - dizzy issues. even a bad plug. i've seen wires that get pulled a little too hard cause exactly this.

I consulted the honda manual. A random misfire would not be a dizzy problem because this only happens while accelerating. Low rpm or on load misfire would be IACV, vtec system, fuel pressure, or valve clearance.

You could have a bad injector or injector wiring. A misfiring injector will cause and missfire the other cylinders to run rich.

Bro... to be honest i believe u r right. I just finished swapping out the plugs, wire, dizzy, computer, IACV and nothing. I think it may be the wiring. How do i check that?

Check for proper ground and continuity between the ECU harness and injector plug with a multimeter.

LOL. Yes. You can use any piece of wire for a multimeter jumper.
