Well I am completley stumped.

Those of you who have followed my various threads on my car fouling plugs like crazy know all the things I have replaced etc.

I went out to the garage today to try to see if I could find SOMETHING... anything that seemed out of place.

As I was fiddling with the connectors for the Fuel injectors I heard minor changes in the way it was idling as I was bending wires. Could my FI harness be to blame for my fouling?

One other thing I noticed was that when in acceleration (read not idling) the rich smell was less noticable and the smoke when I let off the throttle was not black.... was actually white in a few cases.

I know I am reaching but I just cannot figure out where to go from here.

Geoff (bleyseng) if you read this... I think I am going to send my MPS back to you for a check. I just don't know what else to do at this point.

If you can change the way the engine runs by moving wires, then I can assure you the harness is toast. Who knows what all in the system is affected with poor connections? I replaced mine with a Bowsby harness and cured all kinds of intermittant problems. They are expensive but it was well worth it.
