    running lean with a ego heater cel

    the car been running lean changed spark plugs wires, distrubtor, rotor, and o2 sensor. I checked the fuel pump relay. Any suggestions?

      As mentioned, intake leaks are a possibility, but there could be a fuel delivery problem, a bad ECT sensor, or even a bad DME.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        checked for the common vacuum leaks and nothing the ect sensor is the blue coolant sensor? I swapped dme's as well and same thing happened. I opened the original dme and found a bmp design chip in there. Im thinking of swapping the chip as well because i have another dinan for the same ecu number.

          how about the O2 heater relay? it's the same kind of relay as the FP. swap them around and see what happens.

            changed the chip and got a better idle around 800 rpm. so you saying swap the orange relay with the white relay near the driver side wheel?
