Rough idle, tons of backfiring, extremely rich...
Today morning I've gone with the FD for a ride. No problem. Everything perfect, like always... I've done about 10 miles in the road, no cars at all, going at about 40-60 miles per hour. Then I have arrived at a point where the road was full of cars. Well man, no problem, just stop&go time... Then the problem has come.
At some point my car has started to backfire a lot, even at idle and going at 10 miles per hour maximum, in the lower rpm range. It was hard to drive. The rpm was going up and down, up and down. My air/fuel meter (not wideband) was also always in the "very rich" zone, but always moving. My car was full-warmed and I had never seen that at idle, only in a cold start... One importante thing is that the problem has dissapeared as soon as I've gone full throttle The cars have gone away and as soon as I have began to ride faster there have been no more strange things...
Then I've arribed at place and have stopped turning off the car. After some hours I've started the car again and I've made the same itinerary back home without any problem... Well, but I must think that the problem will come back again, sure...
Do you know where to begin in order to solve this damned problem?? Tomorrow I'm making a route with some Porsches
