Re: [MBZ] M119 Troubleshooting

An injector slobbering will cause it to go over-lean -- white burned plugs on all but the bad cylinder, which will be dark. Remember, all the computer "sees" is oxygen in the exhaust. Too much fuel on one cylinder will reduce the oxygen level average (the O2 sensor is pretty slow to respond)

Re: [MBZ] M119 Troubleshooting

You also need to verify that you do not have a misfire or vacuum leak, too -- the o2 sensor does not see anything but oxygen level, so anything that lets excess air in, pre or post combustion, will cause the computer to add fuel trying to make the oxygen go away. if the computer cannot balance

An air leak into the exhaust upstream from the O2 sensor will cause it to run rich, and if you have separate sensors, it will run rich only on that side. Fix the leak before you do anything else, the sensor may "fix" itself. Don't forget that exhaust gasses from a gasoline engine are
