check the voltage on the VAM. should be .28V KOEO. and right around a volt at IDLE warmed up. maybe 1.25v at idle on a cold start.

I tried unplugging it last night cause I saw some one say that could be an issue and unplugged it does a default flat value, but I couldn't get the car to idle. I'll try this tonight Thx, Aj

Yeah I had a bad fuel sensor ground one time(orange wire) and it was doing the same thing, check your tps sensor also. And your fuel pressure.

Ok long time no see guys been working lots and lots of overtime as a couple people have quit here and they don't want to hire any one else. But I changed vam and car runs alot better but still rich. I found the O-ring on 3 injector was leaking and I have exhaust leak around my shitty atr header (I think the flange is warped) This friday is holiday so I'mma pop new "header" gasket on there and take upper off and fix freaking injector. The "gasket" I got is some kinda fuzzy carbon gasket made for headers.
