I can't figure out why the spark plugs are getting fouled up with carbon within 2 minutes of idling.
Thanks in adnvance |

I figured out the timing was off, so now it's not smoking anymore. It drives really smooth now, but the plugs still get fouled up enough that it won't start after about 20 min of driving. The idle stays around 1000 rpm.
I was also wondering about the ECU. My dad got it from this porsche mechanic and i don't know if it's for a 2.0L or 1.7L. I don't know if that would make a difference in richness or not. I got a Manifold Pressure Sensor from the same guy and also don't know if that is for a 1.7L. If the ECU and MPS is not for the 1.7L would it cause the richness i'm getting? |
