Re: [T3] Rich Running, flooding, poor fuel efficiency? Yes, all of the above!


Yes, I checked the voltage regulator.  The output tops off at 14.4V
around 2000 RPM and generates 12.6 or so at idle. 

I've also checked the pressure sensor and hose.  It's good too.  Now I'm
running out of obvious ideas...

Wade,

	Sounds like you've tried many things.  I'll suggest a couple 
more that I don't think you mentioned explicitly.  Sorry if you've 
already checked these.

	Have you checked the output of the charging system at a 
moderately high engine rpm?  If the voltage regulator isn't working 
just right, it may still charge the battery but cause the f.i. to run 
rich.

	Also, is there any chance that the hose between the manifold 
pressure sensor and the intake manifold is loose, disconnected, or 
cracke?  This can fool the system into thinking that you're 
"flooring" the gas pedal.
