ok guys here we go, christine is running great, she just needed more air, i flipped the air filter cover over and man what a difference! so i need to fab a homemade ramair or a duel snorkle setup. now, took her out on 820 and after taking my foot off the gas it would run at about the same speed i let off at. ( like cruise control). also its still hard to warmup in the morns. it dies 4 or 5 times and i have to play with gas to keep it running until it warms a little then it will idle, but it has a strong fuel smell until then. ran it up to 110 while on 820 going toward white settlement and had plenty of gas left, ( started thinking about my tires and slowed down) speedo may be off to, not sure.watcha think i shoud do now? just checked and its throwing a code 12,and 44, the chart i have says that 12 means no dist. reference at ecm and 44 means o2 sengnaling lean condition too long.

Fix the o2, it could be bad or an exhaust leak or it's running lean at times.

Lots of free scanner programs out there and having one helps a lot in seeing what is going on.

The second thing is you need to learn how to burn chips for your car.

tks z ghost, will work on getting setup for chip burning after christmas. picking up o2 and air temp senser tomorrow, will let everyone know how it runs after i put them on. anybody ever hear of lonestar fuel injection out of ft. worth? im looking to get my tbi rebuilt and tweeked a little if they are any good. i know i should stick to one thing at a time but sometimes my a.d.d get the best of me. :roll:
