running rich
I did a search but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I just hooked up my autometer air/fuel gauge, it came with the car. Anyways, the gauge is telling me that the car is running rich, the gauge is on the last rich light. How would I fix the problem? thanks

Re: running rich
I know, I want to but I dont have the money right now. But I think the gauge says its rich for a reason right or is it a gauge that just shows whatever it wants?

Re: running rich
if the gauge is reading all the way one way or the other and isn't moving, you installed it on the wrong pin on the ECU. I forget which one it is, but you just misssed the 02 wire.

Re: running rich
its pin 6 . the guy I bought the car from already had it hooked up but he cut the gauge wires so I wouldnt see that the car was running rich. the o2 wire is white, pin 6 and 7 both are white. Should I try the other white wire I dont want to screw anything up. I installed it how the direction said to, i checked and re-checked.

Re: running rich
Did you make sure you had the 2g ecu diagram?? I'm looking for the one I used, but I can't find it.

Re: running rich
Usually narrow band o2 gauges aren't accurate. If you have no boost leaks and aren't running bigger injectors i see no reason for running rich.

Re: running rich
well tomorrow I'm going to pull the spark plugs and see whats really going on. thanks
BTW... I think I'm getting some lifter tick. i know its nothing to worry about. When I bought car I checked the dip stick and the oil level was under the first notch. it took 1 1/2 quarts to fill it. some people just don't care, even though he is from a race team called team one.

Re: running rich
Today I pulled out all te spark plugs and there is some carbon biuld up on them. the top of the piston is full dry gunk. So I think that the car has been running rich for quit a while. the next thing i want to do is change the stock coils which have over 100K miles on them to MSD coils. any ideas? thanks

Re: running rich
I dont think msd makes a coil for the 4g63, if you want anything other than factory IIRC your options are that aem coil deal, srb makes a cop setup, and theres a few that I'm probably forgetting
