just for $hits and giggles. reconnected the pipe that is for the smog pump to the back of the heads to make sure the plugs werent causing a problem. kept the end plugged. same problem. smells like the car is running rich. blueish tint smoke coming from the exhaust. i spoke with someone from a parts store. suggested to hook back up the map vac line when i was asking about a adj fpr. that is one thing that i havent tried. any suggestions. ran out of gas so i'm done for the night. and i ran through about 2 gallons really fast.

yeah i was definately trying to do it right the first time. believe me. i didnt make a stop at home depot or lowes doing my voyage out, but heard of spark plugs working just fine and i was considering seeing the tread and bringing that to the store so i was 110% sure thats what was needed. either way that didnt break or fix my problem. i'm going to try the map line tomorrow and see what happens.

well, i assure you, they are not the correct piece to have in there... they will come out eventually.. so if you like engine bay fires... be my guest.. otherwise...

no i didnt get the bolts yet. still have the pipe from the smog pump still connected. went around for a while today without anything going wrong. i'ma look at unplugging the harnesses behind the psgr wheel maybe tomorrow or the next day when i'm sure everything is running right.
