ktmrider Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 88 mj i6 5-speed 185,000 miles Well lately my mj has been running super rich, before i noticed the low mpg i noticed a banging in the muffler like the excess gas is combusting in the cat. I know you guys are gonna tell check sensors, plugs and stuff. But here's where it has me baffled it's doing it cold or hot engine(closed loop and open loop) so sensors aren't even coming into play when cold. I thinks it's the injectors or fuel pressure regulator. Any ideals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Have you checked the plugs for fouling,it would help if you could isolate which cyls are over fueling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 x2 could be one of the injectors is stuck open or leaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Also check the wires from the O2 sensor. If the signal from the O2 sensor isn't getting to the ECU, the ECU will probably be operating full-time in either open circuit mode or "limp home" mode.

ktmrider Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 ok so i went ahead and did a tune up plugs,wires,cap, and rotor and here are the plug most where sooty but not wet. number 2 and 3 looked the best under the cap it was rusty, never seen that before and here's where the M.A.P. vacuum line plugs in there's a open hole on top. Should there be a vacuum line in there and if so where does it go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugalo Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 the Map sensor is the only thing plugged into the throttle body on that side on my 88. I believe the Map sensor line goes into the bottom hole and I think the upper one is a dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
