PA 88 RX7 stinks

This car smells like a 2 stroke engine running rich when running what can I do to change this?

Find out why it is running rich.

Have the injectors professionally cleaned and tested.

Check the operation of the CLT.

Is it always rich, or just at idle?

Depending on your setup sometimes they just sell. But I'm with Aaron over all it's probably just running rich, or you broke an apex seal.

Seems to be going away, I cleaned the injectors and is running great now except for an occasional poping.

CLT = tuning shorthand for CooLant Temperature sensor.

The wire going to the top of the rad for some kind of sensor is broken and looks like someone grounded it to the chassis
