hey if the wideband indicates its running leaner than mary-kate olson. than why does it smell rich
thanks,
jeff

 

interested in a answer to that as well

 

Ported engine with overlap perhaps......

 

Lean misfire?

 

What does your AFR read and what are you tuned for?

 

afr runs all over the place but its normally between 13 and 15 and honestly im not really tuned at all waiting on the funds to get a PFC however it is streetported

 

Is it a true Wideband..?

 

Is the turbo and manifold glowing red hot? You could be running rich and fuel is combusting in the manifold and throwing the wideband lean. A normal streetport shouldn't cause any problems.

 

If that were the case dave, the fuel would in fact be being burnt and thereor it would not smell rich.

 

What's your exhaust set up?

Is it a burned fuel smell (indicating a running condition), or a RAW fuel smell (indicating FPD or other issue)?

 

is your air pump working? what mods do you have?

Jeff

 

ok wow go lots of resonses. yes my downpipe is glowing red hot. i have the aem UEGO wideband. as far as other mods its bone stock other than the streetport and downpipe and high flow cat. and its a burnt fuel smell.(if by burnt you mean smokey gasy smell)

 

yes my air pump is working

 

You have a streetport a DP and HIflow cat

im sure as hell you have a PFC or other tuned ECU?!?

 

no i dont have an ECU upgrade at all. here is the reason why when i had my engine rebuilt due too a blown coolant seal i posted a thread on here and everyone told me that with a just a streetport i wouldnt need anything else and it should run fine. so i went ahead and had the port done with the rebuild.apparently they were wrong! i know i need a computer uprade of some kind and i have a SAFC2 but havent put it on. the reason for that is i hear they suck and i may as well go with the PFC. if i had known all this info prior to the rebuild i wouldnt have done the port. look im not going for hugh HP numbers here i just want the car to run right i dont plan to do anymore mods to the car once i figure all this out. but the real question was not this. it was why does it smell rich when its actually running lean? but if you want to discuss how retarded i am then fine cause im sure that will be the next thread that pops up.

 

Im just saying.... id get a PFC and a tune quick.

 

and problem number 2 even if i got a PFC i live in virginia beach every tunner shop around here with a dyno are "mustang specilists" so i would have no where to tune it at cause im not trusting them with my car they prolly dont even know what a wankel is

 

base maps

you can find them in the PFC section

 

PFS is right in Maryland. I am driving/towing from New York next year to have him tune my car; you're lucky to be so CLOSE to a good tuner.

 

MARYLAND!! i thought kdr wat the closest place to go! i'll have to check this place out since i am on the pa, md border. been looking for a good place to get a tune

 

I live in va beach too and know a guy that lives in Chesapeake that tunes our cars. Lemme know if ur interested.

 

I'm in Chesapeake, Virginia. I'm trailoring my car to Ray this saturday, only 240 miles.

 

Ross?

 

yea Ross

 

dragonbreath sent you a pm. and PFS is way pricey im not trying to go cheap but im also not trying to spend boat loads of money i dont have
