Running too rich!!!!

[Ricks15]

I got a major problem with my stupid KA its eating gas like a MotherF**ker I filled it up on Saturday and headed to Ontario which is about a 30min drive and when I was coming back to LA the damn car pretty much consumed up all of the damn gas. Im serious as stupid as some of you might think it sounds it true, I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this problem??? But if it seems way to hard to fix this can anyone suggest any good shops in The LA area that can run a dygnostic and tune the car to run a little lean.

CEL? smell any gas? do a diagnostic on you ECU. if you're losing that much fuel it might be 02 sensor, leaking fuel line, hole in gas tank.

Yeah the car stinks like gas, and the gas tank and lines are a-ok. I think its something electrical like the ECU or something, And speaking of a 02 sensor I got a bosch sensor for my 240 and typical dumbass me I didnt look at the one that was on my manifold and so the wire on the new sensor does not have a connector like the one that was originally on the manifold, So i was thinking of cuting off that connector and handwireing it to the new sensor but I dont know if that will give me some problems?????? I got the reciept so maybe I should take it back?? what do say????

maybe........................................its your timing.......?
or your maf?

[Ricks15]

maybe cuz sometimes it feels really accelerated then it feels ok again then it goes back to being really accelerated???

[xamS14]

is it at certain rpm's it starts to get real accelerated?

If it stinks like gas have you checked your injectors I had 2 leaky injectors before and it made my car stink its really easy to tell just look near the injector see if you can see wetness

[aznpoopy]

check external injectors (wetness around em)

check oil for heavy gas smell (flooding your crankcase)

[Ricks15]

my dip stick smells like fucken gas too

[aznpoopy]

if your oil is thin like fuckin water, you're flooding your crankcase

you have a stuck injector or bad injector seal most likely

damn it seems like a lot of people are having this same problem recently... weird.
