I've been told my 2.0L engine is running rich. Can anyone give me some tips on where to start to verify this and get it resolved? I am runnign the stock D-Jet FI.
Thanks, Jason |

CHT (cylinder head temp sensor)
Timing not set right fuel pressure to high MPS not the right one (please state year, and serial number of both the MPS and the FI computer) Check your plugs before you go to far...if they are golden brown, you are set up correctly. these engines tend to run a bit rich, and that is OK....compared to a modern car, or a water cooled car, these cars like to be a little on the rich side. You have a new motor...how many times have you changed the oil, and when? Initial break in, the gas will leak by the rings on the pistons until they have had time and proper break in to seat correctly... After the break in period, you need to change the oil and filter, cause there may be gas in the oil, along with any small metal shavings from assembly. the throttle position sender may not be set correctly, giving you to much fuel for a given rpm... the haynes manual tells you how to set it, along with pbanders web site. pbanders has a site on the rennlist that has loads of Djet troubleshooting information and test.
