    Too rich air fuel ratio

    Hi! Im running too rich air/fuel ratio. My WB shows me 14,5 at idle, but with 1bar boost it is 9. But my engine coolant temp gauge is not working too, is it possible that this MFTS (mutli function temp sensor) make this whole problem?

    Thanks!!!!

    old rubber hoses may cause this tooo, mosty commen the rubber hoses, even the rubber sealin in the injecktors,and a leakin turbo ( oil leakin in the hotside)

      But what about MFTS? Maybe this sensor is broken and shows cold temp to ECU all the time and thats the reason why my car is not working correctly...possible? But boost goes up and it's not like ''safe mode'' by ECU? Any ideas????

      THANKS!!!!!

        The MFTS only feeds the temp gauge and the autocheck, the sensor on the back of the head feeds the ECU.

          But my coolant temp gauge is not working at all. If I unpluged the connector from the sensor (MFTS) and ground the corresponding terminal 1/T (BR/Y wire) in the connector, the coolant temperature gauge still not working at all, even when the ignition key turned on. Is this problem caused by the sensor located on the back of the head?

          THANKS!!!!!

              Does the fuel gauge work? Could it be the voltage regulator?

                3b or ABY? 3b uses the mfts for ecu as well.

                  ABY also but AAN not...

                  F 76 greater than about 118 deg C = boost controll off = max 0.5 bar = limp mode

                  but this has nothing to to with rich AFR

                    I have the same problem with my 3B, very rich air/fuel ratio. If I dont have a boost leak what should I look for? Can it be because of a broken sensor? Any advice is welcomed!

                    Edit: I am not having problems with water temperature

                      Classic case of boost leak.
                      Pressurize the intake, and remove the leaks.
