Thanks Jason. I just need to work out a few bugs here and there. Running rich as hell right now but the thermostat is stuck open for some reason which is the cause, I am sure.

Whats the datalog say?

I need to run a datalog and see what it says. I know the BLMs were around 111-123. And I had a code 45 yesterday, o2 reading rich.

123 ok for warm up, but 111? Fock. Thats a little deeper than the cts. Sounds like that pig rich gremlin we have had to help a few others chase.

Optimal BLM is 128. The lower the number, the richer it runs and the higher the number, the leaner it runs.

Still getting a code 45. New o2, CTS, thermostat, cat, MAP, EGR and solenoid, rebuilt TBI.

Why is there an IAT reading?

Changed EGR yesterday and it ran great last night and this morning. This afternoon I was going to try to drive it to Cedar Park and about 10 minutes later, the SES light came (45) on and was running rough again.

:suicide: Of course, I could probably get a better handle on things if I switched over to 1227747 instead...I do not know why WinALDL was on that ECM.

Why is there an IAT reading? BLM and INT are both low....the ECM is asking for extra fuel for some reason.
