	Awesome book!

	Watson goes on to describe the following list of things to check
for poor mileage (which I interpret to virtually the same thing as running
rich):

	"Perform the pressure-volume test.  Inspect the circuits for the
pressure sensor, cylinder head temperature sensor, trigger points and
injectors.  If these test out OK, then performe the injector flow test.  If
everything is satisfactory, something has been missed."

	Naturally, this assumes that Fuel Injection Diagnosis Step Zero has
been performed:  namely, the ignition system is confirmed to be in fine
shape and tuned up.

	Good luck!
