System Too Rich

Idle speed too low. If "Scan" tester counts are more than 80, system is rich and may exhibit Black smoke from the exhaust. The "Scan" tester and/or voltmeter will read an oxygen sensor signal fixed greater than .8 volt. Check for high fuel pressure and/or injector leaking or sticking.
