my engine is running very rich, so rich in fact that it floods itself and every time i try to start it i have to wait for the fuel to clear before it will get a good turn. its the 5.7, any ideas on what i should play with to reduce the richness of the fuel?

Are We Talking About A Carbed Motor? Sick

I don't know about the richness of the fuel, although one has to be rich in order to fill the tank. But as Sick mentioned, we need to know what system are you using, fuel injection, carburator, forced induction, etc.., in order to give a sensible reply.

oh ya my bad, it is the tpi, not carbed

I'm Not Into TPI So My Knowledge Is Limited. But I Do Know Fuel Mixture Is Controlled By Your Computer And It's Sensors. Is Your Check Engine Light On? Sick

na no check engine light, we ran the diagnostic computer and it came up as rich, but my dad didnt have the tools with him, so next time ive got some acces to them we are going to play with it. i was just wondering if there was soemthing specific i should go ahead and do.

May want to test the fuel pressure regulator, as it may be allowing too much pressure to the injectors, also check the O2 sensors.

alright ill do that, thanks
