So not much of any updates on the more door atm but its running rich atm does any one no if there is a fuel/air mixture aduster at all or how to resolve this issue this payday im getting new plugs as mine are coming to there end but the running rich issue is getting a little worse lately that any help wud be greatfull guys

If you reset your ecu by leaving the battery unplugged for a few hours it might sort it out as it re maps itself again. I read up about this somewhere before and it worked for me

When you start the car first time leave it to idle it will idle high for a while. Its important you wait untill your idle has settled before you drive it
Once its settled go for a five mile drive and use the rev range.

Hope this helps

Have already reset the ecu mate and thinking its related to the eml that ive always had comin on tbh

[Teastick]

Fair enough mate check all your sensors / clean them

[andy w]

Thinking might be the lamba/o2 is the problem so might try cleaning it if worst change it

[Teastick]

How long has it been running rich?

[andy w]

For a while mate cleaned the plugs when it failed mot as they were sooted up bad so it just scrapped the emissions second time round its always since i first bought it had slight over fueling as my fuel return is less than others i no been told change coolant temp sensor aswell

[andy w]

Not much of an update but replaced the cts and plugs to see if the eml stops turning on and sort the running rich problem my little more door has

[johnny]

Is yours coilpack or the dizzy version? Could be advanced a tooth or two?

Is it backfireing?

[andy w]

Mines a coil pack mate

[andy w]

And no its not back firing what.so ever

[johnny]

It's weird that it's not backfireing

What state were the old plugs in

[andy w]

Sooted up mate i cleaned them just b4 the retest on my mot the car fired up like usual with the old ones in but it misfired now and then so i may aswell keep em as spares when i ave driven the car for about an hour i will see if the eml comes on agen like it normally does if not then ive finally cured it lol if it does back to the drawing board haha am thinking cud be the o2 sensor is comin to its end but thort id start with the cheapest first
