John If I tell you what the problem is will you give me a million dollars? Just kidding! Attached to the engine, driver's side, under the intake manifold is a brown ground wire that people with your symptoms often miss. It branches off the group of wires going to the hall sender. You can see it if you look straight down between the AC compressor and the intake manifold. It attaches to the head. Fix this wire. Clean it. Give it a new eyelet. Make it good!

(86 west syncro running rich)
OK, you guys have been a lot of help so far. but my bus is still running way rich and puffing black smoke....so far...new ecu, temp sensor, grounds, o2 sensor, cat, idle stabilizer.......checked: hall sender, distributor, lots and lots... BUT THE BUS STILL RUNS RICH....heres the weird thing....The bus is at a good mechanic in the area ( I have heard a lot of good things) and when he unplugs the MAF, the bus contrinues to run (shitty, but runs). The bus should stall , correct? Well, it doesn't. Does anyone have any more idea, I am going to go search the archives and see if I can come up with anything. Thanks a lot. JOHN
