J Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 what do you guys think is wrong if anything? My car runs between good-great all the time. It does smell rich when its idling but that is normal for our cars. Any other ideas? no ses light or anything like that, just sort of pisses me off that i clean the shit out of them then the inside is covered in a HEAVY black soot a few days later. Thanks ya'll Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93GTP Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 The engine shouldn't be too rich when idling. Make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks, they can cause a rich condition. Especially the hose going to the FPR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby1870 Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 FPR = Fuel Pressure Regulator Check the vacuum hose going into the FPR. When you pull it, if there is gas in it, then the FPR is bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4spdz34 Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 the reason it would be rich is if the vacuum hose is unpluged it gives u 1-3 psi of extra fuel pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockTherapy Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 the reason it would be rich is if the vacuum hose is unpluged it gives u 1-3 psi of extra fuel pressure what he said, but the 3.4's a bit more touchy than the 3.1, so i'm gonna go with O2 sensor, cause my regal did the same.

NiteFall Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 i think all GM's run like that, at least every gm i've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
