what the hell????
what the hell????
ok so my car is running so rich gas goes into the exhast and back fires like crazy? its not charging right i have a good batt and alt. so i dont know what the deal is??
running that rich could be an injector stuck open.....I imagine you're having trouble starting it too?
How do you know the alternator is good? Did you test it with a digital multimeter? 99.9% of charging problems are the alternator......0.1% are huge shorts that drain the battery no matter how much amperage the alt. puts out.

Charging system:
First check the fan belt. Then check the cables & connectors.
My quick voltage test:
Engine running, headlights & heater fan on high:
Alternator post to alternator frame = 14-14.5 volts (verifies the alternator output)
alternator post to battery (+) = 0 volts (verifies the primary + wire)
alternator frame to battery (-) = 0 volts (verifies the primary ground)
Turn off the motor, but leave the lights on.
Battery (+) to battery (-) = ~12.5 volts and holds steady. (verifies battery)
Running rich:
First check the FPR vac line & solenoid.
If manifold vacuum is not getting to the FPR, you will run rich everywhere but WOT.
The "fuel & emissions” section of the manual will help you.
