The CO and fuel/air mixture is not adjustable on modern cars , only on carburettors . the engine management system will ensure correct fuelling, if there is a fault with this then in most cases an engine management light will illuminate on the dash board

Nissan 1400 consuming too much petrol. How do you adjust air ratio in the carburator

No reference to your model 1400...but if it has a carburetor the air/fuel mixture is set with 2 screws on the front side...to adjust each one...car must be running, turn each screw clockwise until your motor starts to stall...then back out (counter-clockwise 1 1/2 turns from stall...should smooth out as fine tune adjusting...each screw must be re-set this way...could also be dirty or clogged air filter, dirty carb throttle body...and need new spark plugs...probably needs the standard parts tune-up...Hope this helps.

How do I adjust air fuel mixture on 1986 Toyota Cressida straight 6 cylinder dohc

Unless your engine has a carburetor, you can't adjust your fuel mixture. That is done by your cars computer. It analyzes your exhaust emissions and adjusts your fuel/air ratio.
Your oxygen sensor(s) may need to be replaced, or there may be a computer glitch causing the problem.

Wat do a fuel air metering do to a car if it not working

If you mean the O2 sensor, it sends a signal to the computer telling it if the fuel mixture is rich or lean. The computer adjusts the fuel injectors to correct the mixture.
Code 1193 is for a sensor that is not switching back and forth between rich and lean. Sometimes the problem is the O2 sensor and sometimes not.
You could unplug the sensor and the engine would still run.

My 91 explorer wont pass emissions, Co levels too high and hc levels. Are high as well

have your air/fuel (a/f) ratio checked. high CO level means you have a rich a/f mixture.

rich a/f mixture means there is too much fuel compared to air. this is bad for fuel economy.
lean a/f mixture means there is too much air compared to fuel. this needs immediate attention since this might lead to over compression in the combustion chamber, which develops to total internal engine failure.

How do i get more power from my 1975 cadillac eldorado engine ,also shes running too lean so need the mixture screws adjusting,are these in or out also the air filter is new thanks

The air/fuel mixture screws are usually capped off and the adjustment might not be possible, but if the air/fuel mixture screws are exposed then turning them in will lean out the fuel mixture, and turning the air/fuel mixture screws out will en-rich the fuel mixture.

With the engine fully warmed up and at normal idle speed adjust the air/fuel mixture screws one at a time, and turn each air/fuel mixture screw in until the engine just begins to mis-fire, then back out the air/fuel mixture screw one and a half turns to two turns to achieve a smooth idle.

Be certain that the air and fuel filter(s) are not plugged up (there might be a fuel filter inside of the fuel pump as well as the fuel filter/stone at the fuel inlet to the carburetor) and keep in mind that the minimum octane requirement for that engine is 91 octane, and 92 octane is the average octane rating for the premium higher grade fuel, so a bottle of octane booster added to a full tank of fuel will greatly improve the way the engine idles and performs.

That engine should have an electronic HEI (High Energy Ignition) distributor with the large distributor cap and with the ignition coil inside of the top of the distributor cap, and keep the tune-up parts in good condition and replace them when they wear out. The tune parts would consist of the distributor cap, ignition rotor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and the spark plugs should be gapped at .045 in.

For better performance from your El Dorado a 1 inch spacer under the carburetor will really help a lot if the hood clearance will allow it, and you will need to set the ignition timing to 10 degrees before top dead center, and adjust the accelerator pump on the carburetor for maximun pump efficiency so that as soon as the throttle is opened there is two healthy squirts of fuel from the accelerator pump, and they should squirt as soon as the throttle is opened, and if the throttle can be opened and the accelerator pump does not squirt fuel at the same time as the throttle is opened, then there will be a lag or stumble from the engine on take-off and a severe loss of engine performance. (The accelerator pump must pump fuel into the carburetor at the exact same time as the throttle is opened)

For better performance check the adjustment of the secondary throttle linkage, and let me know if you require assistance with any of the proceedures.

Be sure that the vacuum lines to the EGR valve are correctly routed and that the EGR valve is not operating at idle.

Also, that engine has a plastic timing gear that was used for the camshft timing gear, and I would seriously suggest that it is changed before trying to get any performance from that engine.

Other than those modifications, the engine would need a better camshaft and the catalytic converter removed to increase the performance of that engine.

Here are some images to help assist you.

How do i adjust the rich/lean fuel mixture cracked intake

You can't do it with out a tech 2 scanner, so your going to have to go back to the Mechanic to have it reprogrammed. As long as it's running rich, your going to have bad fuel economy and will not pass the emission test when you have to have it done. Good luck and glad to know you got your car running almost 100%

22R Carb at high altitude

Yes, Colorado is much higher in altitude. Do to higher altitude the barometric pressure is less than sea level by a long shot. Lower barometric pressure mean that less air is entering your engine. Which in turns mean that your engine is now running richer than it was at a a lower altitude. So I recommend checking you engine timing, and adjusting your carbs air/fuel mixture. yes this means that you may need to rejet. but first there is a screw on your 22r's carb that you must adjust to lean the air mixture just right. I have had a stock 22r carbortor before and never had to rejet it. i probibly should have but it ran fine at sea level and all the way to about 10000 ft. after 10000 feet i had to lean the fuel mixture to even alow the engine to run. This screw that you must turn is hidden due to toyota not wanting you to tamper with it and burn your engine to the ground by running your engine to lean. it has a metal plug on the passenger side of the carb about the size of a pencil eraser. you must drill that out and then you can adjust the air fuel mixture. Clock wise is to lean the air fuel. and Counter clock wise is to richen the air fuel mixture.A good rule of thumb is to turn the air/fuel screw all the way clock wise and then back out about 2 and 1/2 turns. That is the factory adjustment. you may only need 2 turns out. Best of luck i hope you get it running perfect. Try this adjustment first then if it still runs rich then think about rejetting.

Here is a picture of what i am talking about.

#1 is the air/fuel mixture, #2 and #3 are cold and warm idle screws.
#4 is a A/c idle adjustment.
