STILL having problems with the car
set-up is: 13g running 9-10psi. small front mount, 2 inch charge pipes going to 2.5 just before the throttle body. 255 fuel pump. cartech FMU, 2.5inch downpipe. AEM wideband.
what is wrong: basically, runs like ****. i did have 310cc out of a 89 probe gt, they had a square connector, so i spliced in the new plugs. the car was VERY rich all the time, even with the fmu adjusted so the bleeder is all the way out and the center screw just barley in. random studder and bog. HORIBLE gas milage got 100 miles for 3/4 tank. i tried adjusting the AFM by the screw and the clock spring, and wasnt getting any results. the screw would help idle some, but the clockspring would have no affect at all. the car also will idle how ever it wants to, sometimes it will idle near stoch, sometimes very lean, sometimes rich.
i have tried: rx7 afm - no change
replaced the plugs and O2 sensor each 3 times - no change
swaped 2 different sets of stock injectors - runs a tad better, but now its lean everywhere most of the time. fmu is set where bleeder is all the way in and the center screw is adjusted in a bunch more (50 ish base psi.) but it will randomly go real rich or real lean. for example, it usually cruises about 14:1 but will randomly go to about 10:1. when you lean into the gas, it will go to like 15-16:1. when you go WOT, it will stay lean and then drop to about 12.5:1-13:1, but half the time it will just stay lean while under a WOT run.
i really am baffled on this. i have took apart the CAS and cleaned it up with carb cleaner, still no difference. i have also took apart the coilpack and cleaned up all the connections on it, still, no help. the car has NO CEL on and when i run the codes, nothing comes up. any ideas on what else i can check or any ideas on what could be the possible source of the problem?
