running rich?

[cooneyb81]

ok guys heres the deal, i'm not sure if my car is running rich or what but. My car burns a lot of gas (not sure on mpg), and i have a bunch of sut on the rear end of my car. i have a f22b1 swapped in to my 93 lx. yes i have the p0a ecu. only getting a cel for tdc sensor, but it was burning like this even before the cel. i did have all the wiring for vtec checked yadda yadda and all vacuum lines double checked by a import performance shop here. does anyone have any ideas why it would burn rich. little more details: cai and cat-back, no real mods other than these bolt ons. also sometimes while i'm driving it will act like its bogging down and i step on the gas a little harder and the car stops trying to bog. any ideas would be helpful. also did run seafoam in it a week ago to clean it out but no change. thanks

Did you switch pins a6 and a11?

[cooneyb81]

yes that is what was included in the yadda yadda part lol. do you think that could be causing it cuz the guy at the shop could have switched them back, not sure tho.

[d112crzy]

If they are not properly wired up, yes it could be a large part of your problem.

The bogging is also most likely due to the TDC sensor. Replace your igniter.

tdc sensor is not the ignitor (as i'm sure you know), ignitor is about 2 years old, also to add new plugs 2 months ago, msd blaster coil and plug wires. i guess i'll check the wires and get a new dizzy, even tho i know that won't fix it (or i'm sure it won't). it was doing the bogging before the cel came up. i noticed the cel wasn't on today but still ran kinda crappy.

id check the spark plugs prior to making assumptions.

[cooneyb81]

new (1 month old) plugs and i know they were properly gapped. its been doing this for several months. this weekend gonna swap out dizzy and check the pins. just gotta find my book to get color codes, unless someone else has them handy and would like to post them up.

not check the condition but check the sparkplugs and how the motor is running.

well finally checked it all out yesterday, and the a6 and a11 pins were not swaped. so swaped them and now my o2 sensor is bad, go figure. gas milage has already been lookin a lot better and she is not running rough at idle or while cruising.
