runnin rich
my problem is that my car runs very rich...i reaplced the o2 sensor because i had a code 45 i resetted the code and it still runs rich....when i go to wot for about 10 seconds (1st 2nd and part of 3rd) and when i let off and come to a stop it wont run for crap...it barley idles (400 or less) and when i stped on the gas the hesistation is unbeleiveable...if i take off like i normally do it take less thena second to get the car moving but when its actin up its more like 5 sconds to get it going..
when its doing this it sounds like it has a real nasty cam in it (lots of duration)..and when i floor it to 4,000 and let off it will stop doing it and idle glass smooth....that tells me there was/is sumtin up with the o2..so i replaced it and still does it....
could the cap rotor wires and plugs be causing this??...its the only thing that will make the car run that i havent replaced......
when im in 3rd gear or n e gear for that matter and crusing it at lets say 3,000 i can hear little pops thats because of the plugs and cap/rotor.....let me know what u guys think....
