OK, so i feel like my car has been burning wayyy to much gas... also, when i put the heat on, it stinks of gas. Also occasionaly the exhaust will make a gargle sound, like a misfire for like 2 seconds... What wrong with my car!!!

Could it simply be just a faulty 02?... No codes, cause i have diablo shut it off...

Please Help

Sounds like that tune is off. Is there anyway you can get an a/f reading? You should be about 13:1. Can you turn off the Diablo & return to stock settings?

Didnt think the diablo turned off the front O2 sensors just the rear. The rear meter how well your catalitic convertors are working while the front help control the fuel/air mixture. Even with the diablo the check engine light should come on if its something besides the rear O2s. I would convert it back to factory and see what it does. Kinda does sound like your tune is off.

mine has been doing the same damn thing for a while and no one can figure it out (the shops around here suck) the exhuast note sounds kinda gargly (but not missing) at low revs - as if it's struggling to get going

do you guys have an exhaust leak? Do you have a midpipe that might sealed up correctly, or a manifold bolt loose?
