It's been over a year and in the time I've gotten both o2 sensors changed, got a boost gauge and fixed up the vacuum so it's always 19-20. Pretty much a stage0 too copper plugs gapped at 0.025 (tried at 0.028 for a while then switched down). rich smoke still pours out the exhaust. noticable by visual as well as by smell. passes MA emissions just fine but i get about 16mpg around town. i rememebr the days i saw 18-19 with hard driving
94 855t
dawes mbc @ 12-15psi depending on climate (Darn cutout)
dirty k+n cone + kevin's old ghettorigged heatshield (need to move onto slater's "ghetto" style setup)
bfg trac t/a 205/50/16s (pretty decent for a standard tire but they're no toyo)

if you want to go fast, you want to die, if you want to die, don't buy a volvo ;)

mine runs pig rich too at warm up....pretty normal....white smoke, gas smell, etc.


i get worse gas mileage than you, but according to my AFR's, it's not a rich/lean problem....there's something else going on, and I havent figured it out yet!
