    TOO RICH????!!!!

    Well my engine has about 1200 miles and my driving is kind of mixed, some 30-40 city and some 60-75 Hwy. If I drive mostly city speeds then I'll get slightly over 12 mpg. So I guess it might be normal. To tell you the truth I sort of expected to have a small hit on my mileage but got confused...

    TOO RICH????!!!!

    Jrichker, surfing some of your thread replies specifically the one on 07-08-07, 12:42 PM I found some answers to those codes. Code 67 probably came on while I open the switch for the test while the AC was ON. Code 95 probably came on because I have a hidden fuel pump cuttoff switch that I...

    TOO RICH????!!!!

    Thank you Jrichker for your prompt reply, I just pulled the codes using KOEO mode and found codes 67 and 95. As I read before I'm not too worry about code 95 but what about 67? There are basically two potential failures that trigger this code: NEUTRAL/DRIVE SWITH OPEN OR AC ON and CLUTCH SWITCH...

    STARTING PROBLEMS

    Hi, here is another thing I just checked; the fuel pressure is at 40 psi. The timing I'm sure is right on because when I installed the cam I made sure I aligned the 0 marks on bothe sprockets correctly, that is: Cam sprocket's "0" mark at 6:00 o'clock Piston #1 at TDC and Crank keyway...

    STARTING PROBLEMS

    My car is a 1990 GT I have the scanner with the three digits LCD read out and ran the codes, it shows three codes 11, 10, and 95. I know that codes 11 and 10 mean system is OK, Code 95 is FUEL PUMP SECONDARY CIRCUIT FAULT. Could this code be the cause of lean conditions? and how can...

    I had the same issue a few years back I have a BBK cold air intake, actually I was sent to have the inspection done by the state referee and he said that he couldn't run the inspection until I have the stock filter set up. Good thing I kept the stock filter and plumbing. Since then I just...
