going lean
Okay, my fuel pressure is good, new fuel filter and my car goes lean at around 6000 rpm in 4th gear. Can anybody tell me why?
all I have is a k&n filter, downpipe and catback. |
i've been researching downpipes - and what happens after you add one - for a while now, and i've often read that adding one can cause you to run lean. there's all kinds of contradicting theories on that, though....
|
dont think that its the down pipe for it doesnt go lean in 1st, & 2nd, rarely goes lean in 3rd but always does in 5th. Somebody told me could be because the computer doesnt sense load or something and takes the gas away,
anybody else??? |
Maybe you want to see if the engine has any code? I've heard that the Air Mass Flow sensor goes bad for those people that have K&N or foam filter/intake.
Also, is your injector in good shape? Any intake manifold leak? |
I'm not getting a light so I think that rules out a code and it only does it around 7psi, doesnt go lean at 10psi.
|
Sometimes the check eng light only flashes briefly and goes away. It's 5 min to ground the GND and TEN terminal on your diagnostic port. It's a good idea to read the code once in a while anyways.
|
I checked it, there is no code, any other opinions????
