Let me start off with the background.
1997 Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie.
-Swapped in remanufactured 5.2 with a RV cam for more lowers torque.
-New Edlebrock intake
-New throttle body
-New injectors and billet rails
-New temp sender
-New o2 sensors
-New MAP
-IAC was cleaned and reinstalled
-New TPS
-3” long tube headers - all the way back.
-Fuel sync has been set and confirmed.
-Timing has been set and confirmed.
-*NO* vacuum leaks.
After start, while in open loop, runs but rich ... as it’s supposed to do.
When it goes into closed loop, the idle goes bad and will stall at the most inconvenient times... like in the middle of the intersection. I’ve unplugged the upper o2 sensor (with some wire cutters) to force it to stay in open loop.
Now with all these new parts, where does one start looking? Has anyone heard of a computer or harness going “Tango Uniform”?
Tidbit of information. The OLD engine ran rich too. Kinda makes a guy wonder.
