Default JACKSON RACING HELP!! running RICH

Hey, i finally got my jackson'd B16 running.... the problem is that its ideling at about 4k rmp AND my a/f ration guage is pegged at rich! If tryed setting my fuel pressure regulator ect and it doesnt seem to make much of a change. Also when i adjust the distrubutor to change the timing, it makes just a marginal difference!

Are you using an air/fuel controller? You should really have the car dyno-tuned using an EGT, datalogger and an Apex-i S-AFC or V-AFC.

your a/f gauge isn't a good tuning tool, they are not accurate at all. Just a gauge with a flashy light that moves.

it sounds like a vaccum leak to me. The gauge really doesn't do to much a idle......

recheck all your connections and vac lines you may have hooked something up wrong, I know because i did when i installed mine, i swore all the connections were right and my educated but non mechanical friend had to point out my error

Hey, well what ended up being the problem?? Meanwhile, i STILL havent found out what the problem is really AND on top of it, i think it might have jumped timing because now its running like ****..like its only running 3 cylinders ... ALSO, its burning the CRAP out of my spark plugs...i mean they are BLACK. MEANWHILE, Hot import nights is in like 2 weeks and im walking to work right now....greeeaat
