Right, almost there.

I've replaced the water pump, cleaned the pcv and throttle body, replaced the inlet manifold gaskets, replaced the brake servo. Opened up the AAD valve a bit more.

It's now starting and idling fairly well. However, I still feel it's a bit rich. There's a lot of white vapour from the exhaust and the exhaust reeks of petrol even when the temp gauge is in the middle.

The thing is, even with the adjustment screw turned lean to the point where it's starting to struggle to keep ticking over, it still smells a bit rich. How is that possible if physically sounding / acting like on a lean mix?

I pulled out the plug to the CSI just in case it was still spraying fuel. No change.

It is pretty cold at the moment, around 1C.

Am I perhaps just needing to give it a good run through? Or am I being too concerned about it given I'm probably just used to vehicles with cats?
