Hey.. Just need a bit of advice really.... i have a 93 1.4 SRi 8v (C14SE) running dibilas throttle bodies... However it is running too rich (Currently running on 97 octane super plus fuel) (It runs too lumpy on 95 standard unleaded)

Is there anything that I can do to make the mixture a bit leaner? it all seems electronic to me

Cheers

Check the CTS?
Or get it RR'd and a gas prob in there, then add resitance to the CTS to reduce the fuellign to the right level.
But it's better to do it properly and get standalone managment.

You can't map the std vauxhall item. If you're running rich upping the fuel pressure will just make things worse. Take it to a RR and get it sorted out.

dibilas throttle bodies arnt actualy throttle bodies, there basicaly a power box

anyway u can buy a remapable ecu and get the sw to do it ur self, however its very hard and u dont have a rolling road which makes things even harder

leave it to the pros mate, take it to them
