I should raise the flag on that comment because that is utterly retarded

so if two homeless people tell me my car is running rich, then I should lean it out and put the fate of my motor in the "opinion" of two possibly entirely clueless individuals as oppose to trusting a guage designed to measure air to fuel ratio?

think before you post

Hot like water temp hot?

because that would indicate numerous other things as oppose to richness....


what about some info on the car...

Yeah i guess thats true, but i think he meant if two educated people tell you your running rich then you proabably are, but yeah think before you post, and it is easy, use the air/fuel options above or do you see black smoke from the exhaust, normally its a good amount, and are you idling fine or a little rough? if you see a good amount of black smoke and a rougher idle you are most likely running rich, but its better to run a little richer than lean you dont want to pop that motor...

even if two educated people tell me Im running rich....because there is gas pouring out the exhaust - the two educated people would tell you to get a wideband (or go to a dyno that has one for use) and get a reading on the car.....

true that...
