I want to make this thing run as good as possible that is the goal here. This is not just about the truck running rich so any tips and things i should do now are welcomed
new TPS, map sensor hose appears to be in good shape, not sure how to tell if the sensor itself is good..
new 02 sensor, newish coolant temp sensor
I have a REM, its a manual.. when I'm shifting gears... it drops out of closed loop for a second and goes into open loop, once back down to idle it pops back into closed.. I'm almost positive it is not supposed to do this! (I would really like to know why this is happening)
any tips are appreciated I really need this truck to be running as well as possible for not only my sanity but for the winter.
one of the manifold bolts is broken off in the head and has been since I've owned the truck is it worth taking off the head to fix? ( might this be why I'm running rich?)
I should probably go through all the vacuum lines
there is a lot of gunked up oil in this engine bay on the vacuum harness as well as the valve cover ect seems like its coming out of everywhere that it could not sure where to start with that... (might some things be clogged up>?)
grounds have been refreshed (and I've upgraded all of my battery cables)
seems to run pretty darn good despite what I've mentioned
