too much fuel or not enough air or bad maf or bad O2 sensor. make sure a squirrel didn't build a nest in your intake.

it sits all the way rich (green) when i'm not flooring it. actually it does it mostly when i'm at idle

doesnt mean anything. the only time an autometer a/f guage is correct is when u floor it. it just bounces around at idle

i know what its supposed to do. it stays all the way rich all the time. it doesn't matter if i am flooring it or if i am at idle

Re: HELP: MY GTI IS RUNNING RICH (raresilvergti)
What about during partial throttle--normal driving? During deceleration?
Running rich at idle is not unusual; running lean during decel is normal.
Did you just install the a/f guage and you're saying this? Or have you had the gauge in for a while and there's a change?

Re: HELP: MY GTI IS RUNNING RICH (JettaRed)
it runs rich just about all the time. every now and again for a few minnutes it will run normal but then it goes back to rich. i have had the gauge in the car for a while and just recently this started happening. i also have a na timer in my car that reads the a/f ratio, so i have two gauges telling me the same thing. i'm going to try changing my o2 and see if that works.

If you can pull the o2 , see the tip covered in black carbon, you should replace it....MAF is usually the most likely culprit...Befor you spend, try to get some codes pulled......

Re: HELP: MY GTI IS RUNNING RICH (Magnaflow.CA)
What are other symptoms of a bad O2 sensor? Bad idle?
Mine is running rich, but I can only tell by smell. A/F and NOS gauges in the mail...
thanks
