Quick Fix for 'running rich' -- WHY DOES THIS WORK??? 700 1992

Simply remove and re-insert the #1 fuse.

OK, I thought I had this problem solved after recently replacing: AMM, O2S, oil, plugs, air filter, but after 250 problem-free miles, it suddenly starting using twice-to-three-times the gas on the highway (NO 'check engine' light). Now, this happened on Florida's Alligator Alley, where there's only one gas station, so I thought I'd try the fuse thing (since that's the other recent 'replacement'- to shut off the check engine light). And it worked!

Does this help to diagnose this car's REAL problem???
