    350 TBI runs rich

    Plan to get a new rotor button and points, as well as wires and sleeves. She's been running a lot better the past couple of days though.

    350 TBI runs rich

    I know now it is running off time and causing a misfire. My truck doesn't have cats, it's from NY and they were stolen. Distributor was changed recently about 2 years ago when trying to get it running. It runs almost perfect with a slight miss and smoke/ unburnt fuel escaping. I also read on...

    350 TBI runs rich

    Yes I know, I mean since there is no codes and a rich condition it is pre igniting and not burning all the fuel.

    350 TBI runs rich

    Service engine light comes on when truck starts but turns off at operating temp, stock 350 with about 180,000. I've been trying to find a shop near me that can run OBD1 so I can figure it out but they aren't easy to come by

    350 TBI runs rich

    New to the forum, my 350 runs very rich at idle. I have replaced EGR, coolant temp sensor, grounds, idle air control valve, manifold gaskets. I've tried everything I know at this point. Tapped map sensor to see if it would "stutter" everything seems to be fine? It still continues to run rich...
