Hi all,
My TT 1jz is running rich I think.
I can smell fuel after I have been for a drive, not even driving hard.
Also there is a •••• load of black crap around the bodykit near the exhausts.
One day I was also idling in the garage, the exhaust tip was about 10cm from a piece of wood on the back wall of the garage, wasn't idling for long, maybe 10 mins max. There was a black cicle on the wood and there must have been fuel in it as it started to dribble down the wood.
hard to describe, I'll post a pic shortly
I get 500km's max from a tank, sometimes less. I got about 550km's once which included a return trip from Melbourne to Bendigo.

hmm OK, any idea how to do that. I assume it's a send away job.
Do you know anyone who can do a swap, that is you leave a refundable deposit, they send you a new ECU and then you get your deposit back when you send the original one back?

The other place to check is that the pressure isn't making it come out the cap the black mark on the wood could be from the condensation in the exhaust

check for vacuum leaks first...would be the most common problem in any car. If visual inspection fails try spraying carby cleaner around vacuum lines and inlet manifold and listen for changes in idle speed.

O2 sensor is probably dead. Check your plugs first, if they're dark you know its running richer than it should be. Plugs are usually a good place to start when diagnosing problems like that.
That said, I've never known a turbo car to not spit carbon before they warm up.
