Fixed one problem now have a new problem.
Fixed one problem now have a new problem.
I had a bucking problem on my boosted 2,8l that I fixed with larger flow injectors. Now I am getting a code 45 rich mixture. I replaced the one wire o2 sensor with a heated sensor to try to correct it, but it is still happening. It sets when cruising, I can put the 17lb injector back in but I will get the bucking back. I am running a FMU to boost fuel pressure under boost it is a 10:1. Any help would be appreciated.

I am running a 10:1 fuel management unit. What kind of wideband o2 sensor will work with the stock computer? I could not find any computers that will work with it,

I am looking into the Fi Tech system it is for a v8 but would it work for the v6 If I don't plug in the other 2 injectors? I called them and they just said they never tested it on the V6.

Try it out. I think you'd most likely have to rearrange the firing order in the software

I put the 17 lbs injectors back in, and the rich code 45 is gone but of course the buck is back. I was thinking of putting a inline fuel pressure regulator in to boost the fuel pressure a bit. If I do that should i just pull the spring out of the stock regulator to bypass it. and hook the vacuum line from it to the inline one?

My FMU is not adjustable. I talked to the guy at Soutbay injectors and he said base fuel pressure is to high for the larger injectors and it probably flowing too much fuel. I would like to bypass the stock fuel pressure regulator and put in a inline one taht I can adjust the pressure down, and then the FMU would boost it back up under boost. I just don't know how to bypass the stock regulator. I was thinking of removing the spring and put a regulator in line on the return hose.
