When you get in the car and turn the key ON, do you hear 2 relay clicks, 
about 1 second apart? If you only hear one, then there is a wire on the 
starter that is hooked up wrong. This will make the CSV run when it 
shouldn't, and will also confuse the ECU into running rich.

You should also measure the charging system regulating voltage: With the 
engine warm after a drive, stop and measure the voltage across the battery 
with the engine running at medium (2000-2500) RPM. It should be 14.1-
14.4V. If it is less than 13.5V, replace the voltage regulator with a genuine 
Bosch. Low system voltage will make the FI run rich.

Each one is adjusted individually, and there really is no internal stop, so this 
doesn't work. I haven't figured out a way to recalibrate these yet, but I should 
have a good used one here if you are interested.
