Code 45.....

Code 45 came up, O2 sensor rich. Now in the past i've thrown a code 13..which went away...now the code 45. What can cause this all of a sudden? MY injectors are on their way out...holds pressure when running but takes about 10 seconds to lose all pressure after turning the car off. So what do u guys think it is? The bad injectors, bad O2 or the ECM(i've thrown a code 13 and code 42 like 2 months ago, did nothing about it and they haven't returned, now i have a code 45, maybe the ECM is bad?)

What do you guys think???

TIA

well, part of the problem was the ECM, see i wasn't hitting closed loop AT ALL, thats taken care of, now can ****ty injectors cause me to run rich? i heard that injectors that don't spray correctly messes up the atomazation and cause the fuel to not entirely burn...any further help would be great

If between your "setup" (injectors & fuel pressure) and the "calibration" in your eprom, the ECM cannot correct (it is limited to BLM/INT of 108/80) - then you will throw a Code 45 - Rich O2.

So YES, bad injectors that are leaking can cause this.
