[QUOTE="TxCobrA98, post: 294661, member: 8384"] oh wow awesome info man! to give some input to what you were saying, i totally took what you said to heart. it didn't loop through one ear and come out the other. i take constructive criticism and i learn from info im givin. im not a little prick or a kid that just gets info off the internet from other forums. I learn my way and read up on cars from reliable sources or contact the pro's that have experience. I did not know that simply getting my AF ratio fixed was not the way to do things. I figured the reason i was running rich was because the computer was tryinig to compensate for my mods. I dont know much about the tuning side of things so I didn't even know my mods should cause my car to run lean. now that i think about it, it makes since. Suppyling more air, letting it out more quickly. never thought it through. how would you suggest finding the root of my problems if you dont mind? i go to college full time and i am only 18 so experience in troubleshooting cars is something I dont really have. i wouldn't know where to begin. i will follow your first step in looking at my EEC but how do i know if i have a custom chip? ive never done anything with tuning so im pretty amateur at this. and you are definitely right, i dont want to drop in my potentially 4500 dollar freshly rebuilt motor and have it go to waste 2 years later.. one last thing, would it be wise to see where my car stands now? like go get it dyno'd again? to see what has changed, if anything. and I have not done a compression/leakdown test. i will see if i can't get that done this next weekend.
