TBI running rich

How do I lean out the mixture on a T.B.I. 88 half ton with an OBD 1 computer? It's a 5.0L engine. Thanks for the help.

Good advice, haven't even touched the O2 sensor since putting a new one in about 3 and half years ago. Thanks

Cold air intake, headers, and dual exhaust with Dynomax muffs. It used to run pretty clean though. Can you believe I used to easily get 18mpg highway on an 88 half ton? On a real long trip I actually got 22mpg one time, I was stoked!

Check for a leaking injector and check your fuel pressure. Pull codes.
