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)?

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.

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.
