System Too Rich

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 1993 Pontiac Bonneville, 1993 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight, 1993 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight, 1993 Buick Riviera, and 1993 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If air/fuel ratio is too rich, idle speed will be too low and scan tester counts will usually be greater than 80. System may be obviously rich, with Black smoke from exhaust pipe. Scan tester and/or voltmeter will read an O2 sensor voltage signal fixed greater than 800 mV (.8 volt). Look for high fuel pressure and injectors leaking or sticking. Remove IAC, and inspect bore for foreign material and evidence of IAC valve dragging bore.
