What management system are you using? For my 1jz I bought a haltech sport 2000 and I am having Dynosty here in lexington tune it.

It's not rich due to a bad tune, there's actually something wrong.

Pull the codes and check the inside of the Ecu for any obvious melted capacitors. Check for vacuum leaks. If the ECU coolant temp sensor is old, remove it and see if it's really dirty...and wipe it off and reinstall it.

That would be a good start.

Then search soarercentral and supramania.com forums for more info.

its not a bad tune, its no tune at all haha and itneeds a tune regardless of what else is wrong,

its burning a little oil and iv pulled the codes a few times to double check and also checked inside the ECU pretty much right away,

the heat and humid air is just killing it as well and its been out of tune for almost a year

its getting annoying

Ive seen some people recently with this problem on supraforums and supramania but I dont know if they found the culprit or not.

ecu coolant temp sensor can cause a rich mixture and so can the o2 sensor if they aren't sending the correct signals to the Ecu.

Try another ECU before you do anything else with it. Doesn't matter if it's leaking caps or not as it can drop the injectors drivers and it will dump fuel from 1 or all injectors.

You could fire it up, then shut it off and quickly pull the plugs to see if any are doused in fuel or any cylinders smell like raw fuel.

I keep a spare around for times like this...

Dynosty is an amazing shop. I had a few great interactions and purchases with Hal and Ryan back when they went by their old name.

Check the voltage on the icv and check if it's registering . Ecu and wiring is perfect on the car. Get a new uego sensor as I'm positive it's garbage.
