Default Still running rich.

Hey all, I did a full tune up with Autolite plugs that everyone recommends, new sending unit and air filter but the truck is still running rich as a pig, smells like raw fuel constantly. What else do I replace? Oh also I have new o2 sensors and no codes. 2001 1500 5.9 v8

I’ll have to check later when it’s up to operating temp. Didn’t think of that

finally had the time to take a look at the truck, pcm is reading temp correctly. Someone said egr passages blocked and didn’t believe me when told them it doesn’t have one.

Well, you are correct, no EGR on your truck.

Ok, if temp is good, O2 sensors are about the only other place to look...... or possibly map sensor? Or the little rubber elbow from the throttle body to the sensor.....
