Hey all,
I had a 86 GN about 10 years ago... I just drove it and enjoyed her. I sold her to buy our 1st home. Now I bought a T-TYPE. It has a new gm short block and trans. Built back to "stock" specs other than shift kit. Stock turbo, injectors, (Even STOCK/FACTORY chip installed). Factory fuel regulator (non Adj). It does NOT have a cat. Boost runs up to about 14-15. (Street cruiser).
Problem im having is that it starts up really rich and stays rich while running. As in light blue "fuel smoke" comes out of the tailpipe on startup. A little hard to start too. Turns over 8-10 times before startup. (My 86 gn would start 1-2 turns). And the rich fuel smell gets into clothes and inside of car. Wife hates the smell. Could the cam sensor be adjusted for better timing? The car came with a scanmaster hooked up (MY GN did not have this), sooo im kind of a noobe at the tuning aspect of TRs. Im not looking to race it, Just like it to drive and enjoy.
Any ideas for a starting place would be good, Thanks, James
 
Could be bad MAF, O2 sensor, etc. Check your fuel pressure. I would get rid of the stock chip and get a more up to date chip like a TurboTweak. Post your readings from the ScanMaster.

Those numbers look fine.... the stock chip is your problem...slap an adj. fp regulator and TT chip in there, and be done with it.... will start, idle, run 1000x better than the stock chip... you will be freakin' amazed... like a totally different car.... under $200 for both, and problem solved... plus you'll be able to crank the boost up to 17 psi or so with no worries....:wink:
