fuel smell coming from exhaust
so this morning i noticed a bit of smoke coming from my exhaust... so i decided to smell it... whoa.. my f'n eyes burned... i couldnt see... now it smells like fuel... how can i lean it out... my mods are intake, exhaust, downpipe, oem cat, greddy boost controller, no p/s, no a/c, and removed the airpump... any suggestions???
|
I'm assuming your on the stock ECU, no CEL's and the car was at full operating temp. Since your running a stock cat with no AP, I would check that.
|
i have a midpipe shoud i slap that on???
|
can't compensate for afr on stock ecu w/ no airpump can you? change the plugs and get ecu or reinstall airpump?
|
yea... thot so what about hi flo cat... my airpump is gone... i tried looking for one but no luck...
|
correct me if i'm wrong but it's my understanding you can't get proper idle afr's w/o airpump on stock ecu?
|
i workin on the ecu... i thot a hi flow cat can help...
|
im workin on the ecu... i thot a hi flow cat can help...
|
might help to mask some of the raw fuel smell but cats don't like to be subjected to ultra rich afr's anyway, isn't a solution
|
im looking for a pump might as well...
|
Oh come on, people sell air pumps on the forum all the time. How long have you been running the stock cat with no air pump? That is your problem!
|
Running a midpipe can/will lead to boost creep, which is tricky even with an aftermarket ECU or PFC. I do NOT suggest that.
I'm not positive that a new cat would cure it, but I would check it. You didn't mention any other problems associated with a plugged cat, so I'm not sure, but it was the first thing I thought of. |
i dont know what a plugged cat feels/sounds like... nut im geting the pump... ive been the runnin the it for like 2 weeks...
|
YEAH fools double post !!
|
dont run a straight pipe (you have down pipe already ), if you put the midpipe on there with the stock ecu , there is a chance that you could get some boost creep and explode and die
|
great...
|
The stock ECU is programmed to run rich to protect the engine. Removing the airpump and putting on a downpipe will cause the extra fuel to end up as unburned exhaust. That is why there two cats and an airpump on the car stock. I am running a DP with a high flow cat and catback exhaust with an airpump and it still smells of gas until the cat heats up.
