Okie dokie. This problem is getting worser and worser.
innovate wb is showing e8 which is a o2 sensor heating out of range. I bought a new o2 and switch it. Right off the bat shows e8 again. I now now it's not the o2 sensor itself. Tested it, 16 ohms. 2 good working sensors.
Car is running pig rich to the point I can smell it at idle. At times I drive it and come to a light, the car stalls out and dies when I put it into neutral. VERY SCARY when I throw it to neutral to make a right turn, it dies as I make the turn and the steering wheel locks, I have to start it and turn it on as fast as I can before I hit another car. I assume it's dying from being to rich.
Now. I unplugged the ecu the other day for about 1 hour because of previous work. Plug it back in, all settings reset. Okay, thought myself.
Yesterday, I left it unplug for about 8 hours, came back settings were still saved. Shouldn't it reset?
Sorry long post, wanted to be through.
mods, 16g, exhaust, intake, cat delete, fp mani. Evoscan/ ecu flash
also, car is stuck in open loop, I'm suspecting a short somewhere because ecu needs to see ground to go into close loop am I right? That's why o2 is not cycling or getting up to temp.
 
Nah man no fuel cut here! You probably have some big leak somewhere either vacuum/boost is you are on stick maf or exhaust leak!
Any CEL? In order to go into closed loop the ECu needs some requirements like TPS ISC TempSensor O2 sensor etc. make sure all those are in correct working order!
