Been a while need help with problem...

First start of the am car has lean pop and will no move out of its own way..
unplug chts runs fine until warm then floods the engine.

With that being said checked for corrosion, adjusted idle a little, slightly clamped fuel return to raise pressure no resolve in the issue.

Also replaced chts with oem as well as after market no change. Cold start valve and thermo time switch work perfect, anything else I am missing before condemming ecu?

Thanks

Holy shiza! You are still alive!

I thought maybe you'd fled to Mexico er somethin.

Have you checked out the AFM spring and carbon track?

I have not didnt think itd make a difference since it runs perfect warm. Found a slightly leaking injector but doubt that would fix the prob...

Hum... if all sensors are sending correct ohms to the ecu... I'd say it's the ecu.

So the resolution was.................
I decided to pull plugs all were fouled EXCEPT for the one with a brand new injector. So I bought an otc fuel injector cleaning kit (the kind that goes through the fuel rail not the manifold gimmick) ran 2 tanks of cleaner through it. Let it sit over night and what a beauty. Runs like a dream and only 278k miles
