What are the symptoms of running lean guys?
What are the symptoms of running lean guys? My car seems to be missing/coughing when I'm "in the throttle"... had a buddy tell me that's a sign of running lean... can anyone concur?
it's seemed to only miss 2 or 3 times like this in the past few days when under load... seems to be running fine as of now. But I'm not gonna drive it anymore till I can figure out what's going on.
I could just be paranoid as usual, but want to make sure before I go out and damage anything... hopefully nothing is damaged already...

A miss when running lean, never heard of that. More power maybe and you'll run hotter. If you run real lean you could fry a piston, but you'd really know it if that happened.
Maybe you have detonation, bad gas, clogged fuel injectors or filter.

Highly advise hooking up a wideband.
Best investment you will ever make. The causes of a backfire can be many, but why gamble with running lean. One or two detonations from running excessively lean will cost you more than the price of a wideband.
Hope it works out.
