Hi,
for a number of months now i have tried combating this problem, however it was doing good, but all of a sudden its back again.
My car runs far too rich.
It stinks.
i pull up to lights, all i can smell is a mixture of burnt and unburnt fuel, i clean my exhaust tip out to show off that shiny shiny aha, and within about a day its black again.
So far i have replaced: in order of latest to first
Timing belt, water pump, all tensioners and pulleys-
cranked up ignition timing to 12-13degrees
replaced O2 sensor-
bottle of upper engine cleaner
new plugs, NGK iridiums
new leads- (cheaped out, eagle 300 leads for an st185 celica, as all of the mr2 ones didnt fit properly)
New genuine dizzy cap, rotor button, and coil pack
Fuel filter, and toyota fuel injector cleaner
new coolant and thermostat. all OEM bled properly.
And today i noticed, yes its quite hot. but it occurs on lower humid days aswell, it kind of stumbles a bit down low, now i thought with the ignition timing cranked it would be pretty fiesty down low.
im thinking perhaps, my cam timing is off.. but it was apparently set lining up the marks.
it seems to get 400-500 kms per tank.
Also it idles when warm at about 800ish rpm
im not sure what could cause this.
any ideas?
tps sensor?
coolant temp sensor?
any ideas would be great.
