Jesus.......SO RICH
I replaced the 02 sensor today thinking I would have some luck with the car idling rich, and boy was I wrong. I'm currently only getting a knock sensor code, but the damn thing is puffing black smoke at idle. I used almost half a tank of gas today driving around troubleshooting...and not even going over like 40mph. Is it possible I have a fuel line switched or something retarded like that?

really no info given to work with
are you on the stock ecu? that code may be enough to trigger the ecu to dump fuel
other things could be stuck open primary injector
not sure what the effects of switching the return/vapor lines would be but thats the only lines you could have switchd or it wouldnt start

Yes
This is a stock ecu. I figured that it would dump fuel, I have asked on this forum, and nopisons and everyone seems to think it woudltn dump that much fuel. Any advice on how to figure out whether or not I've got a stuck open fuel injector?

Like a dumbass, the first time I went through emissions my check engine light was on. I failed bad at idle. It was running super rich because it was in limp mode. Get a new knock sensor before anything.

This afternoon im going to test the knock sensor per service manual. I found a guy locally thats willing to let me borrow one if I need to. It probably was a good idea changing the o2 sensor out however. After I pulled it out, it was literally attached to the wiring by like 2 strands.
I do have another question. I've noticed the check engine light stays on all the time, but when I turn the steering wheel, it will blink randomly. I got under the car and looked on top as well, to see if I could see any wires rubbing the steering column, but theres nothing even touching the steering column. Very odd
