Yes but what I'm saying is when they are working properly, they return barely any fuel so if it is returning a lot of fuel, the fault is not with the fpr and is with the supply somewhere.
And then of course you need the air to match that fuel and where's that going to come from unless there is a leak (would be a big coincidence) or the icv is open but if that's the case, why would the idle fluctuate so much?
Not saying its not but I don't think it will be!

I'm sure you said you already tried that? Well at least it's a cheap and easy fix!

That's because if it goes short or open circuit it goes to a default value of -40 meaning it will just run well rich. If it give bad readings, it could potentially do anything!

ok i drove with the temp sensor out and it made no difference after all. However disconnecting the MAP gave my fuel ecnomy back and there was no bouncing. it was much better but there was still surge of power where there didnt use to be. I presume this is due to having no MAP?
