manifold glowing red

Post by **Sideways s12** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 11:44 pm

Ok so I was on my way home from class tonite and while I was driving I smelled this scent of like and electrical fire or burning. I got home and checked everything electrical and every thing seems to be in order. But as I was checking I noticed the smell was coming from my ex manifold and also noticed it had a slight red/amber glow to it. Now I know that means I'm either lean or my timing may be off but does anyone have any other ideas of what it could be? Other than injectors.......

You are running WAY too lean. Fix that first and adjust your timing.

checked timing last night and it's spot on. Im guessing it's a clogged fuel filter? and maybe the cts is bad?

Fuel filter or weak fuel pump

Funny the op in that post has pretty much the same mods I do on my ca and same about of boost. But it doesn't really answer my question because everyone said it was a spirited run my wasn't I was just cruising and I haven't been in boost for like 2 weeks in effort to keep the fuel cost down lol
