Change:
Spark plugs (because $15 why not)
Run a bottle of Nulon fuel system cleaner
Change fuel filter
Ecu thermo sensor (most likely the problem, telling it it's like -40degrees so it's running really rich
Check for exhaust leaks (can mess with O2 sensors readings)
Change O2 sensor (they don't really do too much on NA6 though)
Check air filter (could be old and blocked)
Swap in known working AFM (I had one fail and car ran not very well)

There is heaps more but that's the major things.

x2 what Emily said.
Na6 AFM on a 1.8 doesn't sound right.

If it's had a 1.8 swapped into an na6 car, you have to retain the stock na6 engine management stuff like afm.

Really, well there you go.
I thought that you'd have to change ecu and all. Thanks

When I first got my 1.8l swapped NA6 it to was running pig rich all the time.

My solution was to put in an after market ECU and ditch the AFM.

Let us know how u go please.

if you change the plugs before fixing the problem then all it will do is is deposit soot on them and the same for other things. Clearly the car is running far too rich.
