My exhaust is shooting fire!

I have way too much gas getting dumped into my engine & I do not know why. It is so bad that fire is actually shooting out my exhaust pipe. Sometimes its blue, someitmes yellow. There is a bad studder in the engine & performance totally sucks now.

I keep my car in perfect condition with meticulous maintenance. The less than a year old plug wires, cap, & rotor are fine & new spark plugs have been installed even though the old ones were less than a year old. Timing & fuel pressure are fine & there are no codes showing up on the computer besides #12.

What should I do next to fix this problem? Please help. Thanks.

Bruce, (I mean, Derrick)

Pull the 'Bird back into the Bat Cave, have Alfred check the fuel rail pressure with the engine off, key on. Make sure he monitors the pressure after the key is turned off to check injector leakage.

After you're finished with Cat Woman, have him report back to you so you can post the results. In the mean time, you can drive around with the T-tops off and flames flying yelling "Turbines to speed!"

(I gotta stop watching old cartoons with the kids)...)
