At first, sorry for my poor english. When engine yellow light is on, engine looses power. Now a days yellow ligth remains on frequently. Some body checked it and indicates fuel mixt is poor. All sensors have been changed, including spark plugs cables and engine coils. The engine never fails but runs under power. Compressions ok, injectors clean and ok, vaccum tube ok, fuel pump ok, fuel filter ok, spark plugs ok, air filter ok, battery ok. Fuel consumption is low. Some times yellow light switces of, and the engine runs smoother and power increases.
Thank you very much,
Antonio Lopes

Poor fuel mixture can be many things. Has the fuel pressure been checked? If this vehicle has a Mass Airflow Meter it could be shorting causing this, or a faulty MAP sensor if no MAF sensor is there. Have you tried replacing the Oxygen Sensor? They have a big part in controlling mixture. You could throw parts at it all day, you need to find a shop with good diagnostic equipment to watch the PCM to see what is going on. Look for cracks in the boot from the air cleaner to the engine as well, if it has a MAF then this will mess with the mixture
