Im from PA. Well there are multiple problems so ive figured out others not. I replaced the clutch master cylinder do to previous owner and drove it for a day and had no problems. Now i lose clutch pressure randomly but 2 pumps and its fine... i figure slave cylinder. Also running rich, had code for 02 so replaced tht and cleaned throttle body do to odd idle. Well it still idled stupid. Reved the **** out of it and idles fine now but runs rich. Im assuming because its got 60# injectors but stock pcm...also need suggestions on better exhaust. Has header.

For your clutch issue I think it sounds like you have air in the line and probably needs bled.

For running rich it is probably your tune. The stock ECU is fine to run the 60# injectors it just needs to be configured properly. Probably need to track down HPtuners and get it plugged in to see what is going on. Should be able to fix your idle and running rich problem assuming the only code you have left is running rich. Revving it or Italian tune up is not likely to fix your problems.

I understand the irritation, just saying that won't make the car run any better. If you have 60# injectors and no tune than that's definitely your problem. Stock ECU can be tuned.

It just sounds to me the way hydraulic things act when there is air in the line.
