    Does it do it in any gear, or all gears? How do you know for sure it's leaning out? Have you pulled the plugs already?


    How many miles have you put on the car, and what maintnence has been done?

    It does it in neutral and all gears im sure its leaning out because I have the Air/Fuel ratio guage and its in rich and stoich at idle and/or when you accelerate lightly but if you floor it and keep the gas pedal to the floor it leans out and the idle just sits jumping around 1krpm-2krpm as if it has a big cam or sumthing.Or if you accelerate lightly the idle goes on smooth til around 3.4k-4k rpm and it starts to choke or sputter or what ever its doing and/or if your accelerating lightly and its around 3k rpm and you just floor it the car just dies to 1k rpm and starts jumping the idle as stated in the previous sentences.any help would help thanx...

    You are likely losing:

    A) voltage/amperage to the pump

    B) pulse/trigger signal to injectors and/or ignition

    C) ignitor or coil

    D) air leak in MAF system or intake manifold


    It sounds mostly like a trigger signal to me if idle is fluctuating, or a vacumm leak.

    This is a MAF car??

    Didn't I tell you to check your O2 sensors? I know I mentioned something about that. Another thing, if you have the VAF sensor too tight arond the plunger, it could be getting stuck and not fully open or close all the way. So when you get the time, make sure that it's fairly snug around that plunger.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    1st off if you just have a Air/fuel hooked up to your stock sensors its basically worthless, more for the effect than fact. Get a Pyrometer or spend the money and get a wide band.
    This is interesting though I've never herd of a k series running lean lol, they always run rich.
    I spend money on HP not Brand Names.
