305 running very very rich
92 rs is running incredibly rich on start up. after driving it for a minute or two the white smoke stops coming from the exhaust, but if you get on it really hard you can smell gas. after the car is shut off, if its only been running for a few minutes white smoke comes swirling out of the exhaust pipes... also when it is revved, the rubber hose coming from the radiator restricts.
here is a pic of it on start up...white smoke just comes pouring out of the exhaust. it has gotten noticibly worse since it has gotten cold out.

Re: 305 running very very rich
so is this a 305 tbi or the 3.1 port injection? any way, i'd check the fuel pressure, timing, codes, etc...

Re: 305 running very very rich
to check fuel pressure on tbi you have to remove the fuel filter and "T" in your gauge. i believe pressure should be 9-13psi. if your engine light will never come on the bulb may be blown. in that case you would not be able to check flash codes. you would have to have an OBD1 reader. autozone could check it for you.
