First off I'm a complete noob with Z cars :eek: so this could be stupid simple and I'm overlooking it. But anyway back on the subject my 90 z32 na is running beyond rich it also has an odd problem where it will idle at 770rpm before being driven but once I drive it it wants to idle in the 1000-1500rmp range. The car is super low on power and falls flat on its face when taking off from a stop its running on all 6 cylinders and all of the injectors ohm out properly I have also replaced the infamous coolant temp sensor and cleaned all of my connections the car seems to be struggling for air I'm out of options and I don't want to keep throwing parts at it HELP! :cry:

My recommendation would be to check the Oxygen sensors, for it running rich and falling on its face during acceleration. Mine was having a similar issue, and it ended up being that one of the O2 sensors had gone completely out.. And check the TPS for the idle issue. That part sounds like what happens when it's not set correctly.
