i've heard that b16a are torqueless but i think mine is not normal. it pulls real hard when vtec kick in. i gave a feeling that I am running rich and if so how can i fix that because an 02 sensor didn't do anything.
 
they all pull hard when vtec kicks in...

B16 have low torque... thats a fact, but they make up for it with high hp and high revs...

why do you think you're running rich?
 
stock ecu + no codes... i don't think you have a problem...
i would test it with a wide band before trying to lean out a B16...
 
the car does idle high and when I rev it and let go of the gas quickly the rpm drops to like 300 and then idles at 1300 but if i rev it and i let off the gas "smoothly" it does drop all the way to 300
 
I was told B series always run rich when vtec kicks in. Spark plugs being white means that you're running lean, not rich.
 
wibe band = wideband o2 sensors...

its like an air fuel gauge, but it actually works lol

a wideband will tell you if you're truly running rich or lean...

the idle dropping to 300 rpm def seems fishy...
 
would i have to buy the wide band because i have seen the on ebay for about 450 and that seems like alot just to test it or is there anywhere that they can do it.
