[s-cars] 1995.5 S6 Running Real Rich, Flooding Under Boost

[swhouser at gmail.com]

Thanks, Chris.

Plugs are F5DPOR's.....they were almost new and I just replaced them with a second set to be sure. Think we're OK there. 

O2 sensor is almost new. Think that could fail in about 6K of driving....a year? Maybe we'll swap that out
And see. Lee has probably tried that already. 

Runs very smoothly out of boost, even under load. 

Thanks.

Scott,

I'd check and make sure it has the right spark plugs, plus I'd
be suspicious of the oxygen sensor as a bad oxygen sensor will
make it run rich.
