lol - i need to see how a normally aspirated car responds on in-gear full chop decel from 4k rpm down. so, i need somebody to pop by and let me poke an O2 sensor in their tailpipe and run it up and down the street for a minute. the entire process won't take 10 minutes



please contact me if you can help me out.

As long as you take the appropriate cautions so as to not damage the internal workings of the tailpipe they should be lining up at the door! Sorry couldn't resist

lol - i knew this one would be interesting



hopefully though a car near me can swing by so i can run this test. i never considered the decel mixture, and want to know what it is on a stock car so i can see if i have a change to address on my car.

Not to add fuel to the double entendre going on in this thread, but I have a hole in my exhaust pipe ( which is plugged with a screw-in bolt ) <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> for greater ease of measuring the air/fuel mixture, so if you want to also use that feature for whaetevr testing you need to do on N/A cars, while we're at Paso bring your probe with you <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

I just thought that if you packed up your emissions sniffer and flew here you would really then have no reason why you couldn't solve my ABS light problem. Seeing as though you would be here and all. Lobsters are good this time of year.

Flash, I can help you out with that, but I'm waiting on a fuel filter I need to install first, it has been running and starting a bit rough, and I'm hoping this is the issue. I bought a new dd car and the 968 isn't happy about it <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

Flash, not that my car is running yet, but are cars with aftermarket chips installed ineligible for your test?

Fuel filter came in yesterday, so as long as the install goes well and it fixes the problem, It should be up and running. I still don't have a speedo though...I'm thinking it is the speed sensor now.
