4age rich running ?

hi there

have been sorting out leaks on throttle bodies and now the car is running so rich......black soot when i rev her plugs are black and sooty

would a small leak on the bodies now no longer leaking make this much of a change ? i did also adjust the the brackets holding the throttle bodies so i am now thinking that maybe the tps has moved as the revs are now 1500-2000 on tick over


thanks

TPS changes could easily mess things up.

What about cable to temperature sensor (air or water). Open circuit looks like -40degC or so. If the engine thinks its cold then it will throw loads of extra fuel in.

it depends on the ECU, read the manual and see what it has to say.
