A while ago I asked in the back room if it was possible to make this particular thread flash on and off like a Belisha beacon: http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=186034
Probably still wouldn't help!!
Don't open a parallel thread, I'll move this one.
How do you know it's running rich? Does it still have the flat spot?
Under what conditions does this flat spot occur?

and yeah, still got a flat spot and under dipping the throttle. and running rich as we can smell petrol and by the exhaust fumes. could be running a bit lean i guess though.
