Accepted Answer

Hello, this is a fuel trim or mixture fault. Most likely you have a vacuum leak or a failed crankcase ventilation valve. Check the intake for tightness and cracks. You can also check the ventilation valve by removing the oil filler cap slightly with the engine running. If you feel a strong vacuum then this would indicate a ruptured diaphragm in the vent valve.
