running rich after multiple o2 sensors , no vaccume leaks , or codes . I just sent my injectors to witch hunter and got them back today and installed them and still same rich conditons , it runs rich from start up then 2-3 minutes into idleing it runs way more rich , yes i have posted other threads that have to do with the same problem , but no luck , im just clueless on what else it could be

I just went through a rich condition...and it was flooding on start up..had to hold the pedal to floor to start it...i intermittantly got a code but not always..ended up being a coolant temp sensor.

Re: has anyone else esperienced this , or similar ?

yeah, that has CTS is brand new , heres a list of things that i have replaced

- removed E3 spark pluggs and switched back to AC delco's
-new cap and rotor
-new plugg wires
-new IAC
-new gaskets and diaphragam on throttle body unit
-both injectors serviced by witch hunter
-new o2 sensor (x2) -due to rich condition
- new Coolant temp. sensor
- previously had an exhaust leak @ the manifold "drivers side" fixed.
-tried advancing my timing but it just got worse
- funny thing is i have no SES codes
One question though , when rebuilding the TBI unit i removed the TPS to inspect it , does anyone know if this could be at fault ? , by removing it could i have moved something that messed it up , is it adjustable?
