So I finally finished the overhaul of my brother’s car (all thanks go to my new "Mr. heater" to help fight off the cold). I fired it up things seem ok, flushed the cooling system, still ok. Added ceramic sealer to system (following directions on the bottle). After maybe 5-10min. car has a check engine light and the shift up light is blinking and can’t be rev. higher than 2300RPM and the Air/fuel is stuck at 3-4bars rich. WTF?? Went back re checked all electrical connection to make sure I didn't miss something. Grounds look ok. At this point I think it may have to do with the mixture being to rich? Changed resistor from 300ohms to 330ohms. Mixture is better, but it still has this problem.
What am I over looking?
