Default rich on one side only???

just did a head swap and the car seems to be running fine, but seemed to be running rich. swapped form mti heads to afr's. the tune might be a bit off, but should be close. i pulled the plugs and just the pass side are black. the driver side is fine. any ideas? thank you.

Pull the codes and see if you are getting any O2 sensor codes. It is possible that one of them is bad.

Make sure all of your plug wires are intakct and not broken.

No CEL alone isn't good enough. Pull the codes from the DIC code reader.

Check the DTC's!

This is the absolute best C5 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) web site!!!

http://www.corvettedoctor.com/Code_Main.html
http://www.corvettedoctor.com/index.html

www.corvettedoctor.com

Go to “technical data base” and then to “Corvette ECM Computer Codes”. Then select your year car. Read the instructions and then scroll down to the "READ MORE" window to view the code definitions.\

Here is another very good site:

http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_cod...d-ii-codes.php

Make sure to include the H or C suffix!!
