hello everybody I am currently having problems with my s13 redtop sr20det burning extremely rich. When you start the car its burning so rich that that you cant even stand in the garage with it, with the door open and with a fan running. When you try to drive it it chokes and falls flat on its face. I tested fuel pressure and at idle with vacuum it reads 38psi and at 43 with no vacuum. Ive also tested all injectors with a noid light and they are all working properly. vacuum off the boost gauge reads 17-18. The current setup im running is a walbro 255, fmic, 3inch exhaust, wiring specialties harness, known working sohc maf and stock injectors. Also when I pull the plugs they all are black. I can individually remove each coil and it does make the car run more like s***. So I don't think its coil related. Thanks for the help in advance.

Well i pulled the fuel rail and they are all spraying fine. No seepage through the o rings also replaced maf with a known good one and so far no progress. I also replaced the ecu and tested the tps and it all seems in working order. Today i also noticed it shot a flame out the tail pipe about a half a foot. Can someone please shine some light to help me out.

update today I put my friends stock ecu in and it would start up and just die right out. after further inspecting my ecu I noticed that there was a dent in the back of it contacting the board. So I pounded it out and now my ecu does the same thing. So now the car will not stay running at all it idles roughly around around 400rpm and the exhaust is popping. Someone please help me out here. I live in Cincinnati and if there is anyone around willing to come take a look I have no problem paying you cash.
