when is rich too rich??
got a slight query for those in the know out there.....i know these cars run a bit rich but just how rich,im asking because quite ofte when i pull up at a junction i get a wiff of fuel which is easily noticable,there are no leaks and the car runs fine,no hesitation on acceleration or anything,boosts ok too,idle is rock solid as well,and im getting what i think is average fuel consumption at about 280 to a trankfull of optimax....its a my00 import wagon by the way if it makes a difference........so do any others notice this rich mixture on yours?

My 94 jap wagon has 60 litre tank. I get about 240 miles to it, 22 mpg
Rich is safer and cooler for the combustion areas, what mods do you have that could affect it - uprated fuel pump / regulator, bigger injectors,etc. or is it near std?

In cold damp weather, during the warm up phase, I sometimes get strong petrol whiffs in my standard UK bugeye - most noticeaable when coming to a stop and starting away again. Since the start of warmer, dryer weather, never a sign of the problem. Local dealer took a look last winter, but no leaks or anything to explain it. It's a real puzzler. I've given up - and accept it now in the same way as the occasional clutch judder which tends also to happen in the same circumstances.
