My b18a sounds like a diesel and runs rich as hell

diesel?? that's a major problem... preignition most likely. I'm guessing possibly your ignition timing is way off, or you got other major problems. take this one to a pro.

Don't use diesel gas!

any mods to fuel system?
fuel rail? fuel pump?

Maybe I should use diesel gas.....Its gonna be a turbo diesel pretty soon anyways

Its a 1992 Acura Integra with exhaust and removed bottm part of airbox, and recent external coil. It was "dieseling" b4 the external coil anyways. Everything else is stock.

By the way what else can I use to clear some of that excessive carbon build up? I already emptied an entire can of kleen flo combustion chamber cleaner and poured a bottle of Crappy tire Guaranteed to pass, and have also used a bottle of duralube fuel treatment....
