Default Cars running rich..Bad noid?

My bumper above the tail pipes is black from the excessive amount of fuel thats its pouring out LOL.

Im running a HSW wet kit and thinking this may be due to the noid leaking some fuel out??

Im not wanting to spray the car until I know this issue has been resolved..Now i am wondering if you all think the noid is leaking, or it is a problem related to the 02 or MAF?

What steps should I go through to try and get this problem taken care of?

Im confused. You say you black soot on your bumper. what makes you think it is a problem with the nitrous?

How is your overall motor tune?

Thats what im saying I havent sprayed the car in probably 2 months. Its when im running N/A that it'll gargle and pop on decel..Really noticed last night on the way home from work when i beat on it 1st and it backfired at about 4,000 RPM's when i got out of it..When i shut the car down you can also smell the fuel.

The car is on the STOCK tune. Im assuming that the o2 sensors are gone, or the noid is slightly leaking, causing the car to run like ***. Seems like its getting worse though

I would doubt it is the fuel solenoid leaking but you never know. You can just take it off and see if the problem continues. I would look at the car itself.

If the car has longtubes and no cats and on a stock tune it will be pretty rich as well.

Plugs have been in for around 8 months..Running the NGK TR6's. Now sure what cel's are?? Are those the o2 eliminators or something?

Check Engine Light = cel. Just cap off the outlet on the fuel solenoid and cap off the inlet of the nozzle or plate, whichever you're running. That will instantly eliminate any potential solenoid issues.

I'm sorry to say this but I doubt its the solenoid that's causing these issues.

I would start by disconnecting the 02 and see how it runs.Could also be a bad injector/s.

Longtubes, with no cats and stock tune will make it run rich like that guarenteed. That might not be your only problem but if you have the money to spare id get it tuned and go from there.
