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 |

bad coolant temp sensor/bad coolant temp sensor for cold start injector, sticking/leaking injectors, bad throttle position sensor, bad AFM, bad fuel pressure regulator, return line from FPR to tank blocked, timing/ignition.
I'm sure I'm missing something but I'd check the cheap/free stuff on that list first. Has it always run like this or is this a new problem. Does this happen at idle or all the time? Besides running rich how does the car run? --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |
