You may want to figure out why the car decided to start running so rich. Bad oxygen sensor? Bad MAF sensor? Bad ECU? Does the car act like it has a low rpm rev limiter? Alot of the time this indicates MAF sensor. Is there any other problems? Maybe cooling fans not working due to a coolant temp. sensor reading way low which could in turn cause the ECM the think the vehicle still needs to warm up thus it dumps gas.

it doesnt seem to run any different than it normally does. just pops, crackles, and backfires a lot.

I dont care how fast you are going, just GTFO of my way when i want to go fast  And as far as trucks not getting fix it tickets and fines for noise: If you live anywhere where ppl have theese big BubbaFvck hillbilly trucks, chances are your cops in the area have the same sh1t in their driveway, not a bad *** melon launcher sh1te 240. thats why you get the ticket and not hooter stumpfvck riding with orville pigdicker in the monster truck. just remember not all truck drivers are douchebags but douchebags love big goofy trucks, so dont hate on oatmealman and teh lumberjack. |

clean your mafs, make sure there isnt any exhaust leaks, check plugs/wires, get a new o2 sensor. bet it will fix your problem

cleaned maf 1 week ago. cars not boosted. new plugs + wires 3 days ago. ill have to try a new o2 sensor. would it be easier/cheaper to get an safc or bring the whole car somewhere? i dont need performance gains off this or anything cuz the motors comin out this winter, i just want it runnin right.

If it's not running right, safc will be a bandaid (and I'd highly recommend against, anyway).Check for ecu codes, since it's a free check. A lot of problems with running rich stem from bad coolant temp sensors or oxygen sensors. Alex

hmm i believe i'm running rich too because it backfires when i slow down...plus i'm getting like 20 mpg. seemed to have started happening when i installed my 3" exhaust...any problem it could be that or i just didn't hear the backfire w/ the stock exhaust but it was still there?prob. get a new o2 sensor this summer.

Check out the FSM online and it will tell you how to check codes AND diagnose any problem with your engine. I read through the FSM when I'm bored lol...it's a great way to learn about your car.
