I bought a 92 talon with a few mods and it is running horribly rich.
650 injectors too much for my car i think cant get it to idle due to these problems.
I bought an afc wondering if that will help if i tune it correctly
Exhaust poors out raw fuel will run ok at higher rpms.
i will try new plugs clean air filter and misc easy things then try to tune it again wih afc
 
Fuel pump?

any aftermarket fuel pressure regulator?

is the vacuum line connected to the FPR?

stock MAF setup?


need more specifics, i'm doubting you're going to be able to just "tune it out" with the AFC.
 
i have a walbro 255 fuel pump
stock mas setup
i was thinking i would try to take out the mesh in the mas and replace 650s back to stock
clean the air filter too
fpr is stock also
 
Running without an AFPR on a 255 with big injectors is just asking to run rich. Get a fuel pressure regulator and then start tuning with the AFC, but without that you'll continue to dump fuel and possibly damage the engine in the long term (raw fuel washing down the cylinder walls).
 
it had an safc at one time but it was sold
the fpr is stock and has vacuum line hooked up
wat would bea good aftermarket fpr and any recomendations on how low to turn it down
