Your recent work was from the cat to the back or did you do anything with the headers/collector pipes?Finally got the muffler welded. One place wanted $175 just to weld it--it was already mounted. Found a place to do it for $75.
Once I got home from work I took it for a ride, but it feels like it has a miss or something. Took a pic of fuel trims, as usual I don't know how to decipher the info.
Anyone have any insight/idea what's going on here? Running and sounds not so great. I took the pics in park while giving it some gas. Tia.
Lol, I gotta rip it off.Your recent work was from the cat to the back or did you do anything with the headers/collector pipes?
Maybe headers loosened up or gasket/header are a little out of alignment with the exhaust ports on the block? Is that possible?
Exhaust leaks can make O2 sensors read wonky values with the extra air getting pulled through.
If sensor thinks it is running too lean, the computer will dump more fuel in the mix. Then, all of a sudden sensor picks up on "hey, that's way too much fuel there!" and computer tells injectors to lean out.
Maybe yours is stuck in that kind of bi-polar mood swing of too little and too much?
P.S.: My OCD is making me wish I could rip the protective film off the scanner display for you... LOL
Downstream sensors don't do much, other than indicate whether the cat is working or not.Lol, I gotta rip it off.
There's no cats, and the downstream O2's have been tuned out. I'll check out the headers to see if anything loosened up. Hopefully it's as simple as that, but this beyotch fights me every inch. Nothing is ever easy with this HOE lol.
Only thing I did was cut out the old muffler and had a new one installed. Only difference is the new one is a little longer, and it's oval--other was round--wanted it more quiet, was too loud before.
Quite a trip!!Oh and a couple more things I noticed on those long stretches of flat smooth highway:
Even a slight difference in the front tire pressures will cause a noticeable pull to the left or right.
The Tru-cool max 40k transmission cooler works great. I just had a new tranny installed and sustained highway speeds of 75-85 the tranny runs at 140 degrees.
The tranny runs hotter if I idle. That surprised me.
IF the ambient temp was over 100 it would run around 160, and I got it over 180 a couple times climbing mountains.
Oh another quick question, so the engine temp (as per my cluster gauge) is always right around 210. On some of those steep inclines I noticed the temp getting up to 220-230 and it worried me some. but this is fairly normal right? I shouldn't worry so much unless it gets towards the 250-260 part of the gauge?
Was the MBRP too loud or are you too old? Asking for a friend.Lol, I gotta rip it off.
