Re: 1993 K1500 running rich

The computer does not use the oxygen sensor data after the engine is started cold until the sensor gets hot enough to operate and take the system to “closed loop” operation.

Make sure the vacuum line to the MAP sensor is in good condition. If you have a vacuum gauge, test the vacuum at the sensor.

A restriction on the fuel return line that causes high fuel pressure can cause a rich condition. Injectors for a larger engine then the truck has can cause a rich cindition when cold.
