My 94GT has thrown a 181 at me and I have lost my book. Nothing special under the hood. Headers, o/r x, side exhaust, under drive pullies, and a CAI. Anything to steer me in the right direction would be great. [patriot]

181 - "Fuel system was at rich adaptive limit at part throttle; system was lean (bank1)"

did you do anything right prior to the code being thrown? Check the plugs out and make sure they are the right ones...

I have'nt checked the plugs in a while. It is due for a tune up. How can I check my O2 sensors to make sure that their working right? Should'nt I replace those as a pair? If the O2's are bad then I'll take you up on that Jesse. Thanks for the feed back. [patriot]
