My carb'd 88 runs rich at any RPM above idle after the engine is full warm. I've been running through some of the diagnostics from the FSM and have found something I don't understand.
In order to check the feedback system there's a light green wire underneath the glove box. According to the book, when an ohmeter is connected between this wire and ground the meter should "swing" at idle and WOT and should "stay after deflect" at any other position.
What I'm getting is a swing between 3K ohms and 0 ohms at idle (about a second each) with an increase in the ohms (to about 10K) off idle dropping back to 3K and then alternating as it does at idle- then it starts running rich. The micro switches test fine as does the air temp switch, haven't checked the mixture solenoid yet.
What the heck am I looking at? Is what I'm seeing acceptable? I'm thinking that the mixture solenoid may be at fault- sound resonable?
