[RESOLVED] running rich and sputtering

[cds1320]

So my car has been running really rich lately and i dont know why. when i get on it, it seems to sputter really badly for a little bit then be fine. I can hear what sounds to be my injectors ticking really loud compaired to what they normally do. Today i did a BLT and found a small spot in the intercooler piping and i fixed that, and also set it up to recirculate the BOV. I went to drive my car to see if it fixed it and now the boost is going all the way up on my gauge, like if i had my waste gate unplugged. I tried to lean it out with my afc and still nothing. i have a narrowband and i know they arent accurate but it goes all the way rich and never has before. i have no idea what could be causing this.


Also all my upgrade are in my profile.

check the fuel system, spark plugs, wires, coil pack etc. i had a similar problem not too long ago, my fuel pump got knocked loose inside the tank, threw a bunch of stuff off.

well i put new plugs and wires in, would the plugs not being gapped right cause this problem, i set them at .28 but might have been a little off. ill check the pump tomorrow.

A plug wire not fully pushed in or off on the coil could cause this.

I have yet to figure out the problem but on my way home last night my car desided to die on me. i was driving down the road trying to avoid hitting boost so i dont run really rich, and my car started to loose momentum, i could hear the motor if i didnt put any throttle but once i hit the gas pedal it would act like the car was shutting off, but it wasnt. i cant figure it out at all.

well i have a huge boost leak but i got my car running. It was a wire to the fuel pump that became disconnected so now i just have to do a BLT tomorrow.

Thank you all for your help.
