Engine Running Rich

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi All need some help trying to solve an issue I have with my engine.  It is currently running rich (plugs smell like gas and have gas on them) 

I gave the engine a complete tune up last year (distributor, plugs, cleaned out the filter and manifold, even replaced the python purple wires with new ones) in hopes this would solve the problem

I don't want to chase parts, I live in Canada and buying from nautique parts with the shipping is quite costly with a 40% FX rate. 

From a variety of research on the internet I am wondering if it is 

1. Knock Sensor (if so where do I find this on the block) 
2.  Thermal Coolant Temp sensor (if so where do I find this on the block) 

Not sure if the engine has a OBD2 hook up as this would make this so much easier.  I assume the answer is NO but thought I would throw it out there. 

Any other thoughts or experience with this ? I have the 8.2L Python powered engine (99 SN)
