well, good news and bad news. good news - my car is about to get a lot faster. bad news as follows:
logic. have p1128 which is bank 1 to 3 too rich. if it was p1128 AND p1130 (bank 4 to 6 too rich) i'd think issue with maf. with just one bank having trouble it's either an 02 sensor or something with the air and/or fuel supplies.
check my oil - smells of gas. this may be a result of an injector stuck open. when the car sits, it dribbles gas into the combustion chamber, which then leaks past the rings into the oil. in hindsight, it may also be a cause of the smoking i see on start-up - rich rich rich fuel getting pumped out the exhuast.
so, thinking injector issue.
start engine, connect durametric.
knowing that i have p1128 which is bank 1 to 3, i start on bank 4 to 6 to get a benchline.
using the durametic to turn off individual injectors, i can feel the engine start to run rough every time i turn an injector off. cool.
going to bank 1 to 3, turning of injector 3 gets the rough running condtion. good. unfortuately, it looks like both injectors 1 and 2 are bad, as turning either 1 or 2 off gets no effect.
so, looks like i'll pull all 6 and send them out for refurbishing. RCEng looks the ticket; thanks for the help guys. also time for an oil change - want that gas outta there.
