Well my milage just got even worse! I threw a CEL for the second time. First time, it started running super rich after the CEL came on. Figured the car leaned out for a bit and threw the light. I reset it and was easy on it for a few days and it didnt come back. About 2 weeks later Im riding to Tampa to pick up my kid and the CEL came back on and the car is running suuuuuuper rich now. I can smell the fuel. I guess I gotta actually check what code threw so I can get it looked at. After this problem is fixed I will holler at the snowman....

if you have a CEL code for a bad O2 sensor the car will enter closed loop (or is it open loop? cant remember). car will run super rich.

maybe my O2 is bad. Im gonna check the code today, if I have the time.

Apparently the guy that owned the car before me had a Perrin 3in DP on it. There is a bung welded on it and it is plugged. What could have been in there? Maybe A/F meter or something? I'm not even sure if an A/F meter would go on the exhaust side or not.......
