teach you more on what? What running lean is versus running rich?

*ca18guy* · 10-22-2001, 04:47 AM

I guess your asking what it mean's so quick simple version..... running rich is when you run to much gas compared to the amount of air in the combustion chamber and running lean is when you don't have enough gas compared to the amount of air in the combustion chamber.

leaner is meaner but starvation is deadly.  Now to a Yahoo search.

Twat?? Go to YAHOO search??
So how do you adjust? Fuel regulator or something like the such??

is it true when you run to rich you can spit flames from you exhuast. Maybe a stupid question but i heard it from one of my friends with a muscle car

if u do lean, then ur engine temp gets mad hot, and it'll melt ur shiz fast
thats why nitrous come w/ fuel regulators, or fuel mixed in with the nitrous mixture
and why newer cars use maf/map

You can notice by smell, oil temp. and just performance of the car.

Strider, it's possible, but only if there's something to ignight the fuel coming out of the exhaust.
