What Causes the BMW 525's Air-Fuel Mixture Adjustment to Be Too Rich?
1 Answers
BMW 525's air-fuel mixture adjustment being too rich may be due to insufficient air or excessive fuel. Insufficient air: Insufficient air can result from a dirty air filter affecting intake; a damaged or inaccurate air flow meter; air leaks, such as in the piping from the air flow meter to the valves; turbocharger causing leaks in the engine's piping; or carbon buildup in the intake system, such as in the throttle body or intake manifold. Excessive fuel: Excessive fuel can be caused by high fuel pressure; damaged or carbon-clogged fuel injectors leading to leaks; faulty charcoal canister or purge valve; oil entering the combustion chamber, such as due to crankcase ventilation issues; or faulty oxygen sensors and catalytic converters causing the engine control unit to deliver incorrect fuel injection amounts.
