RE: My car is missing power
Yeah, I figured I was running rich, since the car seems to choke itself wiht fuel when I floor it then it has to catch up to itself by burning the excess off. And i get **** mpg. But what makes it run rich when its hot?
The fuel pressure was good though, 32 at idle (without the vacuum being touched) and like 40 at wot.

first off you need to check the fuel pressure with the vaccum line off, check it and make it 38 at idle with the vaccum line off. then put it back on and see what it is. now you say you get bad gas milage like how bad? a good tuned 5.0 will get about 22-25 at most and 25 is pushing it big time.
