probably a dumb question but what would cause my car to run rich? i have a new 4" intake, 3.5" maf with translator, fuel pressure normal (about 38#'s line on). anybody?
 
What have you done to verify it's running rich?? What are the indicators?
 
Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Exhaust leaks?
yeah i found one vacuum leak going to cruise control and plugged it, headers were kind of loose and tightened them. i only have the stock dp installed no exhaust yet.

well the blms on the scanmaster stay at around 105 and i believe that means that the ecu is trying to take away fuel; that and it smells like gas big time. also, i cant seem to build boost with the brake and gas going at the same time; i read somewhere that was also an indicator of a motor running rich. thanks in advance for any help.
