How's the fuel pressure?
I didnt think fuel perssure was an issue ??? ( I could be wrong) but that is what the return line is for ? ..
thinking it could be a "leak down" proplem .. I also replace the cold start injector .

What about the TPS adjustment then followed by the timing. This was my problem when running rich. Also caused my cat to plug up.

high pressure can result in a rich mixture when running in open-loop mode

I dont remember , but it was an aftermarket NOT oe ..

I did replace it with a couple of "cleaned" OE sensors I had on my shelf , and there was no change . It is the single wire O2.

Low fuel pressure will result in a poor spray at the injectors thus also resulting in a rich condition.

I would verify fuel pressure...

Is your rebuild stock or did you change things in the engine?
