im singing the snow white blues
 
Now i am confused... i want to change the O2's but dont have the money, I am getting dentation, i retard the timing on the car, and the thing doesnt even move. I put the timing back to the stock setting gave it 50psi of fuel, no matter what fuel setting i put w/fuel reg on my a/f gauge it was reading rich at idle and at wot, there plugs are completely white. Are the O2's giving my computer false readings? I dont know what to do....
i am a lttle angry because i was embarresed at the track i ran a 14.5 at the best run, for what i have i feel i have a slight computer problem....

thanks
raini

how do u know when the o2's are bad???? They are pretty black????

At full throttle, the O2's shouldnt make a difference.
Suggestion: Run SEVERAL bottle of fuel injector cleaner thru the tank.
Pull you spark plugs to see if any of them got metal specs (piston particles) on them...

how do u check the injectors to make sure they are working right? Also what else could cause this problem

chris91LX 10-17-2002 10:27 AM

Just a stupid question, but are you sure your pulling the spout connector when you are changing your timing? And putting it back in after you changed it? It's usually the stupid things that get me, that freaking spout connector has gotten me more than once.

O2s & fuel prsi.
 
Is your check engine light on? If so, read the codes. If your O2s are bad then you will get a trouble code from your O2s. How come you set the fuel psi. at 50? The stock setting is between 39-42psi. As far as the fuel injectors go, I don't know how you can check them yourself. You can take them somewhere to get cleaned, but I've heard the price for a cleaning is close to the price of brand new injectors, so I don't know if I'd suggest that. When is the last time you changed your fuel filter? Might want to try that.

i had the fuel pressure set at 37 running lean to my suprise so i bumped up the fuel pressure on purpose to an enormous amount so that i know i am not just letting it run to lean, yeah i removed the spout connetctor every time lol i know i have left it in once by mistake but when i set it each time i did take it out and put it back in....

try trying another TFI moduale..one time when mine went bad it made my car cut out up top and the plugs were allways white as can be no matter what the FP was at

b4 that i never knew that the TFI had a effct on fuel..i allways thought it was just spark
