Running Rich

[Sevy14]

Hi folks, 87 GN. I done most of the basic upgrades fuel, chip etc. Car runs well with fresh plugs but a little rich during mid to full throttle. Now after a few short drives plugs seem fouled, missing and running rich (by smell) and wont idle. I have the Scanmaster G but can’t seem to connect the bluetooth to read any data logging. Any advice?
Thanks

Probably time for a new Denso O2 sensor. Also reset the ECM and possibly reseat the chip. Weird things can happen. No idea on the bluetooth.

Will the Scanmaster G not give you data without Bluetooth? Figure it has to be tied into the ALDL. I wouldn’t think you’d need Bluetooth to get data, but then again I just have a regular Scanmaster.

The Scanmaster is wired to the ALDL. Post the numbers when the engine is warmed up.

Yes, it will.

Yes, it will.

Kinda what I thought. Second what Scoob said, post up that data.

I do have a new O2 sensor but I will try reset if the ECU. Thanks

Yes need Bluetooth to get data. One computer won’t connect the other computer won’t seem to down load one of the files.

Bob did offer help but I think it’s my computers are the issue.

So get the data from the Scanmaster itself. Don't need bluetooth to read from ECM to scanmaster.

Start car & see what data you can get from the SM.

After you post the SM data, try tapping on the MAF housing while the car is idling and see if it has any effect. If the budget allows, consider a MAF translator and newer style MAF in the future, the car will just run better.

Thanks I have a new LS1 MAF and translator already
