Running Lean
 
I bought this car with some modification to it and it's running lean. The Car Came with a bigger turbo and a ECU Chip as well as a nice borla exhaust. Could it be that i need cooler plugs?

is there a specific code it is throwing.... what motor/program/turbo?

does it have a maf? is it coded for no maf? we need more info than running lean


upgraded fueling? injectors/pump?

How do you know it's running rich if there are no codes?

Shotgun diagnosis: MAF

CTFRunN3r 03-20-2009 02:15 PM

my mechanic said it was and u can smell it. also, i have a diagnostic tool that shows me my engines parameters and it shows that.

Where would the MAF be on my car. there is a sensor in the airbox would that be it?

MAF is in the airbox.

If your car is running rich, you'll have a MIL or a code. What are your fuel trims like? What chip is it?
