Buick Brainiacs,
My 52,000 mile car (mods in sig) is just plain smelly to drive. It smells like it is running very rich, but my Scanmaster numbers look good (INTs/BLMs always right around 128 or working to get back to it from 126 to 131 or so) and fuel pressure is 43 psi line off.
The smell is bad enough I usually have to change clothes when I get home since my clothes smell of exhaust.
I just swapped out oxygen sensor and no change. Although when researching this topic, I noticed the O2 sensor I bought (Bosch) have been giving problems to some people. I have a heated O2 wiring harness sitting on my shelf. Does anyone know what sensor it takes so I can run down to Autozone to pick that one up and see it that helps.
I believe all my plugs look good, bit can yank a few out a post pics if someone believes that would be helpful.
There are no obvious exhaust leaks I can find.
Is there anything I am missing. I don't recall this with my stock 28 pound injectors. Could the 60 pounders be the cause of this?
I am not noticing any smoke (black, bluish, or otherwise) from the exhaust when I gas it.
Thanks for your help.
