for starters those intakes give me the creeps
you running the stock computer?
i hate not being able to get under the hood through the screen, ive had so much dumb **** happen over the years i could find it in 5 min but to stare at the screen i am guessing.
what was the code?
yea by looking at the a/f assuming that little gauge is correct you could drop the base fule pressure until it gets into the 14's and see if it clears up going down the road.
if it does that is not a license to roll into it btw.

Thanks mightymouse did not even think about doing that with the fuel pressure. I am not trying to get into it at all..... All I am trying to do is get it so I know that there is not problems. I just want to drive it 20 miles one way and then back.
The codes showed no missed. It showed a MIL code not sure what that was and the other was a speed sensor error.

Also I think the new set of plugs are already fouled out. Car will not even stay running at all and it sounds like it is rnning on 1 cylinder. I am going to put another set of plugs in tomorrow and lower the pressure and see if anything happens. I will try the wd40 test after I put new plugs in it tomorrow!

just do the propane thing you'll get it all slick and greasy with wd40. then you got to clean it.

i just statrted reading this thread. that car is sick! finely someone thought of the old school way! I've never heard of wd40. I've always used ever start. Just spray it on the vacuum lines and around the intake. the rpm's go up. its a vacuum leak. either( ever start) does a great job of evaporating. that way it doesn't leave the residue that wd40 does. just my .02. this is what iv'e always done through the years on carberated cars. cheap and works great.

MIghtyMOuse, Thank you very much for your suggestion. YOur Idea made my car a whold different animal. It is amazing I thought that it sounded good before....Pfff, I should have video up in a little bit of the new changes.
I changed the plugs again... 3rd set in 2 days. Not bad. lowered the fuel pressure to 50, that was not low enough, went to 40 still to high, so ended at 28 and car runs like a dam champ. Thanks again new video up soon
