Yeah, you're right. Could be an O2 sensor or something in the computer thinking the mixutre is rich when it is really lean.

Most times I've seen it, it has been a bad vacuum leak but these computers can really add problems if they try to correct for a non-problem.

Good suggestion, especially since he mixed up some custom fuel. :-)
