Hey everyone. So I'm a new owner of my 87 WE4. Had it around a month and a half now. I've been wanting a Grand National or WE4 for a long time now so it's great to be here now.
I've got a few issues to sort out on the car and could really use some help. I have never been that good at figuring out what's wrong with a car but car fix it when I know what to fix. And that's where you all come in.
First, here's what I know about it or have done personally:
TurboTweak chip, upgraded MAF with 4" cold air intake, running 16psi of boost, upgraded transmission with a 2500 stall, new TPS, HD PCV valve and new grommet from Kirban. And I'm pretty sure that's everything.
Now as far as the issues go with the car, there's a few that I'm trying to sort out.
1. I think it's running really rich. I can smell fuel strongly and it coughs out black carbon on every cold start.
2. Just today the exhaust smoke was blue while warming up. But as soon as it warmed up, that went away.
3. There is an oil leak that I'm having trouble finding. I thought it was the PCV valve and grommet, which is why I got the new one but it looks like it still is leaking.
I've attached a few logs from my SMG. Can you guys/gals help me sort out what's going on with my car so I can get back to enjoying it?
Thanks!
