I have a second Gen 3sgte, still running the top mount, stock injectors, 3in dp and 3in mandrel exhaust.
the car will backfire on occasion, you could sometimes smell the unburnt fuel and my air fuel gauge reads well into the rich area. Any suggestions? thanks |

Running rich to the point of backfire though? I didn't think it ran THAT rich. However, I guess if you're not running any cats it's quite possible that it would backfire and the smell of gas would definately be more apparent.
Oh yeah eggman, did you ever fix your high idle problem? If not I'm leaning towards coolant temp sensor. --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |
