Subject: Fuel Mix too rich
IP: Logged

Message:
I'm receiving diagnostic trouble codes indicating that the fuel/air mixture on my 96 Dakota 3.9L fuel injected enging is too rich. I've changed both O2 sensors, Idle Air Control Valve, plugs, wires, cap & rotor. Any suggestions?

The MAP sensor voltages ae all correct and all vacuum lines appear in good shape. Good suction at PCV valve and beather port.

Check the wiring that would be carrying 12 volts,but it maybe shorted 12 volt on sensor wire that normally be fed with approx 5 volts from the ECM,shorted to a 12 volt battery postive supply. If you bought a sensor and had to alter your pigtail for new sensor might done this and as daddio saying check that MAP Sensor vacuum line a little stubby one thoughly for cracks and maybe the sensor internally broke it is only a little ceramic wafer and a spring and electrical connector could be Coolant Sensor to but if you are getting P0052 code its something in your 02 sensor 1 in bank 2 also check 02 sensor relay go from there see your finds... Good Luck
