My car is running but not really because of this problem of a rich fuel mixture

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJxVJU4BaTk

and the Idles off but I can deal with that

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl7FYIBVuIc

new FPR

New fuel filter New Fuel pump New injectorsnew MAF New IACV

so WTF?

it revs fine but as the idle comes down the mixtures stays rich and when it gets to 800 it stalls out and now it wont start back up at all

the car will crank fire die then I crank it and it just cranks and cranks till i un hook the fuel pump and dry out the cylinders the it cranks and fires and dies

Injector o-rings?

Do you have a wideband to confirm that you are running rich?

I thought only the mods had that avatar.

I was having the exact same problem, no bad sensors, injector o-rings good, proper fuel pressure, ect... It was just dumping crap tons of fuel and flooding out and wouldn't start.

The only cause that I could come up with was that the ecu took a poop, so I sad f**K it and bought a haltech, installed it, set it up, changed nothing else, and bam cranks up just like it should and was running like a champ untill I popped a ringland a couple days ago.

What kind of injectors are in there, again?

Sounds like the tune is pooped on the stock ECU, or you have leaky injectors of some kind.

Who knows, though.

Why don't you download a sr fsm and check to see if your cts is bad or your fuel pressure is off, instead of just throwing parts at it.

Op try a different ecu, or try your ecu on another sr.

retard from other site wrote:AAC/IAC: The AAC valve (Auxiliary Air Controller) takes in the air ratio and puts it through the computer keeping a tab on how much air is entering the intake. Mostly it is the ECU's main idle control system and can deff control the A/F ratio.
WTF is this a$$ talking about? The IAC/AAC has 0 control over the A/F ratio, it just controls the idle speed by controlling the amount of air being allowed past the tb when closed.

The others are a good basic suggestions of what to look for if you are having problems running rich.

it controls the air into the intake in order to Idle hence AF ratio

IDLE Air Control Valve...hence controlling the idle, but I have heard from multiple sources that it changes the AFR as well.

It controls the air being allowed past the tb, the only effect it has on mixture, is when it allows more air in the maf sees more air going past it, and the ecu increases the injection time accordingly to reach the target afr. The same thing happens when it decreases the amount of air being allowed past the tb, maf sees less air, ecu decreases injection time accordingly.

It has no control, it can just cause a very small change(if watching it on a wide band .1-.2 change) in the afr that is immediately compensated for.
