OK guys, I've got a SERIOUS problem.....my car decided to go wild again.

So Friday evening the car was perfectly fine. When I left the fine establishment that I was at on Friday around midnight to go home.....all of a sudden the car would NOT start.....so I gave it a little gas....and it finally started, but it was running just unbelievably rich. If I let my foot off of the gas, the car would die. If I tapped the gas, the car would choke too....but it would keep running pig rich right around 3000 rpms and stay there. It would NOT go above 3000 rpms for the 2.5 miles it took to get home. Also, I had a quarter tank of gas before I left....and in the 2.5 miles it took to get home, my tank went bone dry and the car died about 30 feet from my driveway. Anyone have any ideas? On saturday Andy and Greg were over, and we tried a few things....obviously we changed the plugs(whole other story) because they were blacker than night and dripping of gas when I took them out....and I turned the afc down to -50% on low throttle for 1k-3k rpms....and the car ran for like 2 seconds before it ran out of gas again.

Question is, ANYONE have ANY idea what could cause the car to spontaneously run this rich....just out of the blue???

Mods are 15G's, 550cc injectors, supra denso fuel pump, afc, avc-r, atr downpipe(no cats, stock exhaust).....can't think of anything that would be relevent.

If anyone has any ideas let me know....even if it sounds stupid! So far the only thing I can come up with is that my MAS died suddenly, ECU problems, or my AFC is fucked.....those are the only 3 things I can think of.

If you MAF or SAFC failed you would either see it on the SAFC display or with a logger.
Have you measured the fuel pressure?
Were the capacitors replaced in the ECU?
O2 sensors?
Injector stuck?

yeah i agree, and also check your connections from teh SAFC.. you know if its not getting a signal doesnt it revert to extremley rich to save teh engine from going lean??? if i remeber correcly that was a saftey feature... i dunno thats what i would check.. its free!

I'd bet your AFC is fucked. I assume you checked the settings on it to make sure it didnt somehow reset itself, so that isnt it. Might want to bust open that panel below the shifter, and check your connections again. While your at it, you may want to solder them like they should be.

Remember when we first put the AFC's in the cars Sanj...one of mine had an awful connection and yielded similar results. My car just choked down the street until it was properly connected.

2.5 miles from the house...hmmm that could only mean ONE place

Another thing i was thinking was maybe just a bad end tank of gas you had in there. Did you try refilling the tank and see if the problem persisted? Long shot there but worth a try.

If you cannot figure it out, put it on a truck, and send that VR4 to MEEEEEE!!!!

Good Luck Cub Fan

Where the hell is everyone?

Here is a "wish you were here" pic for your visual enjoyment.

So I got this idea for a great movie. It’s about two gnomes who find this bracelet of power and they have to take it to the burnings steps and toss into the cauldron of fire.

They form the Brotherhood of the Bracelet.

Along the way they are trailed by a Merloc called Gotum who’s obsessed with the bracelet and nine bracelet bogymen.

It could be a three part’er called Ruler of the Bracelet.

The first part can be called The Brotherhood of the Bracelet followed be A Couple of Towers with a climatic ending called Hey, The Kings Back.

No shit.

I’m half Scottish and half Irish. I’m fucking pale blue for christ sakes.

Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror? I mean, when you were not modeling woman’s cloths. You’re almost translucent.

Anyway, I started a new band. That’s me on the accordion. We are called The Cameron 4. Our CDs are on sale at all your finer Super K-Marts

What happened to the "Moe Syzlak Experience" featuring Homer? Oh well, the Cameron 4 sounds good. Hopefully, you won't "Sanjay" (Strike out) in CD sales.

Nice picture by the way. That's the Vatican?

We need a meet-up guys, before Sanjay goes back to Neverland and more of us travel to foreign lands.
