QUOTE(phonex98 @ Sep 26, 2006 - 9:10 PM) [snapback]484182[/snapback] Ok, i knew what lean meant but now im curious... why is too lean, bad. It would seem to me that a lean mixture would allow the gasoline to fully react, and having oxygen in excess, just blowing that out the exhaust? No ? think of it this way. there is a lot of heat inside a cylinder when its making power. the heat inside can cause detonation. the more fuel you put in there (rich), the better cooling and protecion you get. the less fuel you have (lean), the more you risk detonation. you can clearly see by looking at the a/f chart that its only a matter of time till that motor goes, based on how lean it is. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
