Default RE: tail pipe flame question

make sure your passenger side 02 sensor is screwed in very tight, and all the connecotrs are in right, that was a misfire.


1.FUEL PUMP SHOT OR THE BAFFLE HAS COME LOOSE IN THE TANK



2. you need a full tuneup , NEW PLUGS, WIRES, CAP AND ROTOR BUTTON AND IGNITION MODULE/COIL PACK.
3. Timing Off OR YOU CROSSED PLUG WIRES, check with spout connector removed
