A few of you on here know what im talking about. The car is running Ok, wouldnt say its running the best. Compression is at 140, plugs, wires, timing all checked few weeks ago running great. And then the car started to run very rich, like where you could almost light a match in the car and blow up, thats how ingulfed in the fumes you were. What else Can I do to try and fix this? ---

is the CEL on? sounds like is might be a little to much for just a bad o2 sensor, you may have a sticky injector or a bad fpr. ---
