car running rich - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #70754 12 posts Started by team_omega
i have a 3sgte swap done. Everything is stock + FMIC kit + HKS BOV. I just installed an AEM UEGO wideband and the gauge is telling me im running rich. What can cause this problem? I know it can be bad in the long run but how do i adjust?
what management are you using?

stock ecu...no management yet....just got the swap done...any ideas?
stock injectors as well? reset the ecu and if possible, get a new o2 sensor. Also make sure tps voltage and resistance is correct. Next, check coolant temp sensor.

yep..stock injectors...will reset ecu and get new o2 sensor...how do i check tps voltage and resistance? My coolant temp sensor is broken, so i think its that.
What are your AFRs? There should be a coolant temp sensor for the ecu signal and one for the gauge cluster. Which one is bad?

As for the TPS if you check out the BGB, you need a feeler gauge. You put it between the stopper on the throttle body. And ohm out the different pins on the TPS.
It could be the o2 sensor.

when i drive its is in the 10.8 - 11.0 and when idle its in the 13.6 - 16.4(jumps around)...I get reading of the coolant temp in the gauge cluster and the broken harness clip is the brown clip on the coolant pipe/neck(i think its for the ecu signal)...using my old 5sfe o2 sensor...i will get new o2 sensor and see what happens.

Might be a good idea to fix this.

been looking for that clip and no luck...i just email dr. tweak to see if he has any...
5sfe coolant temp sensor uses the same plug.

I would avoid driving it until that is done. hopefully that will be the end of it. biggrin.gif
