Running lean

[Gianni]

Hey. Got car back from mechanic. Asked him if my motor is sounding alright. Coz it does sound different to how it did when I first put it in. He recons it's a lean furl mixture by the smell and sound. How do I shush the mixture or what could be the cause

Wish I had that ability. Would make tuning a piece of piss. :lol:

Also, try pulling the spark plugs out and checking the tips. Should be a grey colour. If they're white, he might be right.

can do...anything else i can do to tune it up...getting exhaust done tomorrow um i think sometimes one of lifters gets stuck on the left side coz it makes a ticking noise...only sometimes...then it tends to fix itself and start again

actually you can smell lean...... lean smells like sheit, rich smells like fuel, normal shouldnt smell like anything

Are you going with a bigger exhaust system? That probably wont help your problem.

 

[Gianni]

na its not to help the problem..it has nothing to do with it

 

[Gianni]

jayrome..any idea on what the issue could be..only thing i know how to adjust is the cas...

 

[JayRome]

intake leak, any leak between MAF and throttle, timing adjustment, bad fuel, oxy sensor is gone, FPR dying..... thats all i can think of atm...

 

[Gianni]
