Fuel puddles in my manifold.

I don't know how many people have read my last thread of problems I was having with my 90 mk3.
This is it: http://www.supramania.com/forums/sh...t-everything-tests-good&highlight=spark+tests

well anyway my spark problem was resolved by replacing my Circuit opening relay and EFI main relay. Now my car starts but with a whole new can of worms.

Now I'm getting fouled plugs and still getting the rich condition I had before my haunted engine problem.

When I removed my intake manifold the inside was covered with fuel and th lower part had a few puddles.
So what I did was do the test I found here and jumped +b and fp turned the key to on set my preassure to 40 and checked if my injectors were leaking at all. No leaks.
However when the key was turned to off my preassure dropped instantly to zero. I thought it's supposed to stay at around 20psi for a while, am I correct?

Another thing I looked up was ( I have an AEM afpr) the afpr to see if there's something wrong nwhat I found in their website was that the inside has a return orifice that is interchangeable. The smallest being a .100", .150" and the biggest of .200". Their website says that if the orifice is too small idle will bee crappy and will cause a rich condition. Too big will make it difficult to set pressure.

So my theory is that (mostly hopes) I can find the return size from the aeromotive models to chose the right size on my AEM.

If anyone else have any ideas on how to fix this? Ps I have an safc2 on the way to help me with the Lexus.

I did so I temporarly removed it and blocked it off to eliminate the possibility of being the culprit. But it still acted the same even after.

obvious question, I think you addressed in your last thread, but for the record: Have you checked whether your cold start injector is opening and closing appropriately? If it closes, how about disconnecting it and seeing if the rich condition resolves? I finally had to adjust the screw on my AFM to lean out the engine,probably covering a problem, but I've got other issues to fix first.

Victor Charlie, it's ok that's happenend to me before.
Now back to the supra issue. I read your thread too and I was trying to open the afm all the way as well but it didn't do Jack. Ahaha

So as of now I ordered the new orifices for my AEM Afpr to remove the small one and replace it with the bigger orifice. If that doesn't work I'm sending my
injectors out fir testing while that's being done hopefully I get my SAFC-2 and wire that in.

Later I'll have to research on how to set it for the Lexus upgrade. Man I'm such a noob.

Yes I did. I had the lower one off just enough to put my finger under the injectors to feel if there was any fluid coming out. May not be a proper test but thats what i found on the internet.
