Smell your exhaust, check if your in open loop through a scanner, measure the resistance through your O2 sensor or read the voltages from it.

I have HP Tuners which can tell you everything but it's in Lethbridge.

Running rich won't ruin your engine for a while. Smell your oil, if it smells like gas do something about it ASAP. It takes a lot of rich driving before you start washing the cylinder walls.

keep your foot off the gas! problem solved! lol

 

I'll be home tomorrow night, I'll see if my hpt has it on there

 

yeah Jordan, there's ALOT, and I mean ALOT of misinformation spread here...

did you get the muffler shop I suggested give you a quote on repairs?

did you even bother phone around for a replacement?

Doesn't someone here know where Kris's Cobalt is?

It has, or had a shorty header, and a replacement downpipe...

 

It should be able to tell you o2 voltages and open loop operation on the VCM Scanner portion.

I'd bank on it being stuck in open loop due to a crapped 02 sensor if it's running that pig rich (my car did this. 11:1 AFR on the highway ftl!).

well if his cat is screwed that could possibly cause his problem

And last I heard, His car was a few spots down from eddie in the impound! lol

 

does everyone look over the fact that i have a stock downpipe i'm willing to sell him for really cheap that has maybe 5000km's on it. but he keeps ignoring me.

 

Or he could just gut his..

 

gutting it causes its own problems. straight piping it is a better way to go

 

looks like he wants to go aftermarket if his parents are forking out the cash. I be he has understood it but he just wants an aftermarket one i guess

 

apparently

 

and Gregs next visit is sooner than anyone realizes

 

just settle down. post's get over looked all the time! lol

and I still think he's gay! hehehehehe

 

I forgot that Steve...

I also forgot that he figured it wasn't his downpipe ~ but the cat section of the exhaust...

I just remembered his post from crawling under the car, and eventually banging on the cat to verify what Will suggested...

I read that he was happy...

is he flying in with you?

 

Flying no. Driving yes.

My panic disorder would never make it through the mountains at this time of year.

 

did he ever tell you what that edited post said??

 

if that's the case, do yourself a favor, and don't ever opt to drive (even shotgun) on the Pacific Coast Highway - it is a bit hairy at times... side of a cliff kinda hairy...

 

doing 80 miles per hour? I did something similar when I drove to cheyenne! lol the lsj can corner pretty good around mountainy areas! lol

 

@Stink - Yes it said "edit" he never changed it. He wanted to ask me something before posting what he wanted to post.

Jonathan summer time I'm never bad when it comes to driving. When it comes to winter suddenly I have fears like no bodies buisness

 

It was always meant to say edit. It was originally a joke then edit.

I wouldn't fly because then I don't have my car haha

Rightfully so, although it is an amazing drive in the winter and the roads are fine right now.

 

lol I seen it before it said edit!

 

SO can the LNF, I almost lost the rear end and before I could even react the ESC pulled it around.

 

esc's for sissies!!! lol

 

The LNF better corner good, it was designed for it .

Oh but it sure is purely amazing, and probably saved me from winding up in a mound of snow.
