Hey guys my s13 coupe is running way to rich i currently have a KA24DE motor and need help determining why it runs so rich it doesn't pass smog and i get like 12 miles a gallon !!!! it fucking sucks !!!
I Changed the o2 sensor, spark plugs, air filter, catalytic converter, fuel filter and still no change.
please help me with this problem!! could it be the fuel pressure regulator ??
thanks

could be the FPR, coolant temperature sensor, knock sensor, MAF, timing could be off, spark plug sensors/cables, distributor cap/rotor, vacuum leak somewhere, EGR system clogged, gas tank is leaking from somewhere, fuel filter needs to be changed, fuel pump hoses could be leaking............yea tons of stuff

No I don't. cause I got it "passed" lol but I saw the smog check computer screen and it was at like 5.34 in running to rich it's considered a gross polluter lol

who's this ? i know i probably know you just don't recognize your zilvia screen name. I haven't gone to the meets in awhile been taking a lot of college classes some at night and haven't really had any free time, i wish the meets were on the weekend i would be there every meet :)
i didn't even know the ka24de had a knock sensor where is it located ? and mines a 93 so i cant scan the ecu with obdII not to sure how to check for codes on mine. thanks man
