That's the thing, I don't think there is a problem. I have an A/F gauge and it has never said it was running lean. I would think that running rich would be a more probable cause wouldn't it?

yeah, running rich kills cats quickly, but im sure the gobs of extra heat from running lean could damage it aswell.

damn good to see nothin major happend, my tranny is shifting like crap, its an auto-tragic but when i went to the dealer they said since i have 69000 on it, and i havent got the dealer prescribed 60000 mile auto tranny fluid change, they "may reserve the right to void the warranty", this is what the head supervisor said,
man if they do that, the day i do my tranny swap to the 5 spd. which should be like in a month or so, im gonna go up to the service garage which is where you would leave your car, and then the mechanic sould pick it up, it has an entrance side and than an exit side, kinda like a drive-thru,
well Im gonna pull in all nice and slow like Im there to do business, and then im gonna smoke out the place with my NEW Valero Racing Clutch, and Advanced R-side shortshifter, hahahahahahahahaha, you know that concrete that the have in service garages, its nice and smooth like its sealed with polyurathane, oh man its gonna be a loud screach, and leave a mark for months, the Eagle F-1's GS-D2's, leave a nice tread pattern. bwahahahaha

Right, I agree. But when the item isn't as advertised (ceramic coated) then I get annoyed. With it not being ceramic coated, it does not perform as advertised either. This topic has gone OT, so I am gonna lock it. The rattling is fixed, now I need to fix the A/F.
