VeeRsix 0 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 What you have is 2 cylinders running slighly rich, now seeing that your fuel input/usage is monitored electronicly via sensors/maf/ecu/injectors etc etc ,this means you cant adjust anything to compensate for the 2 that are offslighty other than to ensure the followinga) injectors are clean and shaping correctly air-fuel filters and breathers are clean and operativec) all associated pipeork is airtightAfter the aboves been checked run the car for 20mile then re-check.You could also do a compression test wet n dry and post ya findings here please.Stephen Link to post Share on other sites
