Car is Running VERY RICH

[SHO_ROLLER]

And I don't know why. I have new O2 sensors, new plugs, and a new ECT sensor. I tried to run the codes but the shop can't read them because my slush module is shot. Any ideas what it could be?

Anthony :cry:

How do you know?

Anthony,

Not that I'm doubting you, but if you can't check your codes, how do you know your engine is running rich? Have you checked your fuel pressure?

What exactly is a slush module?

You don't need a shop or any expensive equipment to read your own codes, all you need is a paperclip or short piece of wire, and the DIY instructions from any one of the three sites in my signature to learn how to read them yourself.

After reading the codes and determining if there are any other factors causing a rich mixture, you might want to next investigate your thermostat to see if it is stuck open. What temperature reading do you get on your dash gauge when the car is fully warmed up?

Get the code situation straightened out first.

Check fuel pressure.
