> The richening, Pbanders? Chris Foley? Dirty injectors? 2056 and a strange lean

Ok, car is running great, but it just wants more fuel than my mps can give. It was almost there before I upgraded to the 2056. I have the mps maxed (inner screw all the way loose, won't go any further). I have the full load stop set at 3inhg and the part load kicking in at 7.5 inhg. I have now been inching up the fuel pressure, at 32 now, but the idles is now so rich it is bothering me.
The ecu idle is full lean.


The fuel injectors are 2 years old fj67s. Pbanders states you should be able to run up to 2.2l on d-jet without a problem.

Did I mention I hate pulling injectors?

Car idles great and the cylinders are all equal as far as what the plugs look like. 1000 miles on the top end rebuild. CHT temperatures are going lower and lower as I have been richening it up. I now rarely hit 370. 70 cruising is 350, even less when I am trying to be nice. Oil temps is still great, mostly because of tangerine racings oil cooler bypass. Night and day predictable temps since I installed that. Can't recommend enough. 5 stars.


Could all the injectors have crudded up equally? This would have happened before the rebuild. Since I started the richening earlier this year.

New fuel filter installed 2.5 years ago when I bought the car. New injectors installed after that. Previous owner had a rich condition (mps shot).

Watching the fuel pressure while I drive shows no change, sticks strong at 32 psi.

This plug has 200 miles on it.

123dizzy, so no plates or trigger points. It's d-jet so air leaks aren't really a thing. Idle mix is an issue since I have the mps fully rich. I have the tangerine racing tunable mps setup and as you richen the mps you will see the idle mix move. The ecu dial is an extra add on top of that for setting idle
Mix. Now, maybe my ecu is borked but that is how it works on my car. It would be interesting to know if that's how it works on others that can change their mps settings while the car is running. I am sure it is since a failed mps causes a rich idle as well.
