Ok, here's my situation. kinda long, but please read!

I blew my Turbo, drove with out the turbo for about 2 weeks. Finally got my new Turbo *ported TDo5h w/ 16G internals* and my car ran like shit. would always load up above 4K, and it runs extremely Rich...100 miles to a full tank. So I replaced the Injectors hopeing one was stuck open. no luck. Replaced the FPR, no luck, and I pulled my ECU and the caps were bubble'd so I just got my new ECU, brand new but my car still runs hella rich and loads up bad. My timing is set. I even played with the timing. every were I set my timing both retarded and advanced, it loads up. I have no Idea now what could be wrong with my car. Someone told me that It could be a bad ground, but I dont really know were to start searching for the bad ground. and if it is'nt the ground....what else could it be!?!?

I just want my car to run again......can anyone help me out and throw me some advice aside from selling it?

Thankyou

Chad
 
Are you venting your BOV?
What other mods do you have?
Have you changed plugs and wires lately?


About the gounding issue, look for loose wires and replace all of the ground wires.
 
Are you venting your BOV? Yes, HKS SSQ Bov

What other mods do you have? Accel Wires, NGK, HKS Steal headgasket, Dropped compression, TDo5h (ported w/ 16G internals), Ported Exhaust manifold, 2G injectors, Gutted Intake, 2 1/2 Catback Apexi, act2600 clutch, HKS SSQ Bov, K&N.

Have you changed plugs and wires lately? Yes, 6-7 months ago w/ Accel performance wires and NGK's.

How do you know you're running rich and not have a leak? I have a Digi A/F gauge. Read's lean at idle, but with any throttle.....it peaks rich and loads up. car will hardly accelerate and the engine feels horrible, as if it is just strugglin. Plus I blow out a shit load of black smoke and alot of black stuff all over the ground.

If you have access to a logger, that will definetly help. No, I dont, but a buddy said he'll be gettin one in a week or two.
 
No boost leak, already checked. beside's, would a boost leak cause me to kill a full tank in 100 miles? not the last time I checked, thanks though. anybody else have any idea's? i'm about to test the O2 today and see if that's bad. i'll update ya'll.
 
Your ecu could be stuck in open loop. Check your 02 sensor like you said and then check your coolant temp sensor, both are variables that the ecu looks at to put itself in closed loop and if one of them is not functioning it will stay in open loop all day long.
