So im in the final stages of getting my new driver ready for CA smog. As of right now my AIR injection is not functioning properly, but other than that, the car is pretty much running.
Im going to get a new catted H-pipe and fix the AIR injection, my current cats are pretty much gone (I dont know how long they were run with a super rich condition)
The thing is, under a good amount of throttle I can smell the car just running too rich. Idle is fine, cruising is fine, but anything other than that it smells like its loading up. My gears are completely ****e (2.73) and this could be putting a major load on the motor or something... I have no idea.
But my old 78 Chevy pickup ran cleaner than this and it only had Full length headers and mufflers. No cats, no emissions at all. Ive read other posts saying that with an offroad H the car smells a bit, but why? Is this just Ford engineers safeguarding the motor against a lean condition that could potentially be dangerous?
