running rich.. Let's make a list.
I seriously screwed myself over with my ram air. I'm running crazzzzzy rich with an average of 18.5 mpg (26 mpg before). After removing the ram-air, i'm still getting the same mileage.. so now i'm gonna check everything tomorrow. I want to make a list of everything that can affect an engine running RICH (NOT MAINTENANCE ISSUES because i did most of it) so please add anything to this list. the rich list check-
-timing
-o2 sensor
-knock sensor
these i'm not 100 percent sure
-cap rotor?(i don't know if a bad set can make you run rich but i know you can get bad gas mileage)
-spark plugs?(same thing with cap/rotor)
everything seems to run fine.. except i'm eating up gas.
anything else to add to the list?
btw i did a search and i got 12 pages. HELP A NOOB OUT!

a fault MAF can cause richness? Even if it's running smooth?
I honestly just think it's my o2 sensor.. but i'll be screwed if it's not. I just want to make a checklist for future references if this happens again.
again it's not a bad mileage maintenance question.. it's an engine going rich question.
