Car Running Rich
....305 TPI...mods listed below. Need some opinons...has a major problem starting unless i press the gas pedal down...it cranks for 15+ seconds....when it does fire, the idle isnt too great, has a hard time having a "healthy" idle for a good 20-30 seconds. When i'm driving and stopped somewhere(light, stop sign), idle isnt smooth, car shakes. No codes/no check engine light. Has stalled out a few times after a long trip. I know it runs rich b/c of the smell comming from the exhaust, and also my stainless tips are black around the lips. Last summer/fall i installed the Accel stuff, and also all new relays related to the MAFS, a new MAFS, computer, updated factory PROM and a new Idle Air Control Valve.
So what could cuase this now? Thanks.
