car running extremely rich
my car is running extremely rich right now and i was wondering if it would help if i got an SAFC-II, the only problem is that i have nowhere to dyno the car, so would it be possible to lean out the mixture without dynoing the car?
thanks tony

no you can not... just kidding!
well first of it gets bad mileage and it smells like gas all the time especially when i come off the throttle, so i was assuming it was running rich plus my mods. it came with a open air bov, 3 inch open exhaust, no air pump, and a 3 inch tid

Stock ECU rotaries with open exhaust will make your eyes water, and people in the drive through hate you... Its definately a rich mixture, because thats how it came from Mazda.
You CAN get a wideband and an SAFC, or you could do some seat of the pants testing, but I dont really reccommend that.

yup, j-rat is right, although similar mods, two cars MAY have different AFRs. you could get an safc and a wideband and lean out the mixture. i just installed an safc-2 yesterday...not that hard, i pulled the entire cable from the ECU clip, and put the safc's cables to that (i didn't have to solder any cable). if you need more specific instructions PM me.
