if your running that rich to were gas is dripping out of your exhaust, you would be the bill gates of air fuel ratios. no clue what would be the problem other than a tune maybe?

bump

Anyone knows how to check the fuel system is working ok? I thinking also that its the octane of the gasoline here. I dont know how much is it but maybe isn't burning completely inside the engine.

If I reset my car, taking of the battery and leaving the key on RUN for 15min. Will it help? I've heard that this helps to almost every imported car from the US to Bolivia because of the sea level, oxigen flow is not the same as in the states. Weather conditions are very different. Reseting my car will make adjust to fit my weather condition? So, this would stop pumping gas out of my exhaust and the snoring?

sounds like you have an intake side leak it says stage 3 so i assume your st3. check your gaskets and make sure all your bolts on the intake manifold are on right. intake leak will cause misfires etc etc. can't tell too well from the vid but thats what it sounds like to me.

Intake is kinda dirty, I'm cleaning it right now with moist paper towel. I will put it on tight and make sure there are no leaks of air, when engine starts... Any other ideas?

Are you sure it's not just condensation? Everyone's exhaust has water come out when cold until the cats light off.

Yeah .... If that was raw gas i doubt it would make all the way back without getting burnt up or evaporating . You would have one hell of a fireball from time to time too.

We are in summer here and would be it possible that condensation comes out so much? What about the snoring sound of the engine? its like it wants to turn off.

I get water all the time ...summer , winter and anytime in between . I think humidity plays more of a part in it than temps do.

sounds to me like you have 60 lb injectors, get a tuner to look at your car and adjust it for the current area your in.. resetting the car by unhooking the battery might help.. i'm that is more then likely not gas
