I had my motor rebuilt and I am trying to get it running again but I am having idle problems and it smokes like a chimney. I believe it is black or grey. I have done some test like tapping on the maf, replaced the iac and still no change. I do not have a scan tool yet so is there any way of checking this car out for now? My fuel pressure is about 45psi with a thrasher chip and my tps is .43.
45 psi static? @ idle?
What state do you live in? Someone's bound to live close to you and be able to help.
45 psi with hose off, I live in maitland florida. I am restoring it and its not tagged yet, so I cannot take it anywhere as of yet.
what do your plugs look like? Are they all reading similar? Obviously, you're running rich as sin. Do you still have a stock chip handy to try? Any mods like bigger injectors?
also - plugged CAT, bad FPR, pinched fuel return line, and PCV will cause rich conditions if your motor was just rebuilt *properly*. Check those out too. Gray smoke is back in the motor - valve guides or rings...
