I have a 2015 Chevy equinox with a 2.4l engine. The car is running rich. When I removed the resonator box fuel poured out of it. What would be the most likely causes for this issue

Did fuel pour out of the resonator, or water? :huh: Can't say I've seen or heard of true liquid fuel getting trapped in the resonator, but a water/oil mix would not be unusual for that engine.

As for running rich, I'd look towards an excessive amount of fuel in the engine oil, likely from a failed high pressure fuel pump. You can remove the dipstick and smell for raw fuel. You can also take a few drops of the oil and put them on a clean sheet of white paper. If there's excessive fuel, the fuel will separate and form it's own 'ring' around the engine oil.

It's definitely fuel not water. I am going to change the O2 sincers
