Car running extremely rich...Can't find out why...
First of all, I live in Peru and having an FD here is not so smart, but I can't help myself since I love these cars...we don't have rotary speciallists as you guys do, so finding a mechanical problem here takes forever...I need your help!
My FD always has burned lots of fuel since I bought it (pretty normal on FD's, right?), but lately was getting even worse.
The oil starts smelling like gasoline at only 200 miles of use...My mechanic has tried to find out what's wrong with it with no luck.
Here's what we have done so far:
- Check MAP
- Check O2 sensor
- Check connectors
- Check fuel pressure
- Check TPS
Also, the injectors are brand new (less than 500 miles).
What other stuff may be causing this problem??
Any help/suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

What type of aftermarket computer are you running ?
Have you tuned your car lately ?
Running rich will burn lots of fuel / oil but at least you wont blow your engine .
Your car is Muy buineta

Wires and coils are OK.
My mechanic checked the AFR's but not using a WB sensor and it was running rich...Even by smelling the exhaust gases is easy to note a strong smell of gas.
I'm going to try to get a wideband O2 sensor to have a more accurate AFR.
Thanks!

Even the oil gets dark and thin with not much use.
