Extreme rich condition
Before any work was done and before the plenum was removed, the motor ran extremely rich. After talking with Marc and Jerry, I removed the plenum and eliminated the complete secondary system. I replaced all the injectors with FIC ones and the fuel pressure regulator with Jerry's new and improved unit (which I have to say is a work of art). The prom was re-calibrated by Marc and a resistor was installed between pins B22 and C18 on the computer which got rid of the code 66 that I had. I now have NO codes but still have the extreme rich condition. I suspect a failed sensor or vacuum leak but with all the vacuum stuff removed and ports capped off, I am at a loss. Any ideas?

Re: Extreme rich condition
How are you detecting the rich condition? Are you using a scan tool? if so, do you have logs?

Re: Extreme rich condition
A code 66 is a power fault for the valet switch.

Re: Extreme rich condition
I do not have a scan tool but what I did was jump the terminals A and B in the ALDL connector and it showed no fault codes, only the code 12. All the plugs are black and sooty and the exhaust is very black and rich. I can't let it run very long as it smokes us out of the area.

Re: Extreme rich condition
No, have not checked the coolant sensor. Can I do that without removing the plenum? It is rich right at startup.

Re: Extreme rich condition
Were the FIC injectors new or rebuilt?
