Running Rich

MUSTNUT · 05-03-2001, 09:51 PM

Boy its been awhile since my last post. Pulled out the wagon yesterday from a long winters sleep. Fired it up and let her run a bit but noticed a very strong exhaust smell (eye burning infact). I have 80,000 miles on it but I think its running a bit rich (same thing last year).

Can you adjust the fuel ratio through fuel pressure? Will this solve my problem? If so, how do I go about it? Am I on the right track here? (blah blah...you get the point) Thanks in advance.

Do you have off-road h-pipe? I have one, and my car is set up to run very lean, and without the cataletic converters, I still get the eye-burning, rich smelling, exhaust smell, so I dont think you have anything to worry about.

Nope, no ORPipe. I find this fuelly smell a little strange since my old 5.0 (89 coupe) barely had a smell (was almost like steam)
