I stopped by a muffler shop today to have them help me bend my tailpipe over a bit because it was riding my shackle. He pointed at my new muffler and said oh you’re running rich. It now has a golden color with a blueish rainbow effect going on. Roughly 2 weeks old. Got me thinking if I was actually, or if he was just trying to get me in for “service”
I have no CEL. Idles around 700. Runs good no power loss. Replaced both my o2 sensors with NTK ones about a year ago. New muffler and CAT. Spark plugs look normal. Fuel pump pressure is a little below 50 at idle, sits at 30 with key in ignition. Sits there for awhile with the engine off but it will eventually drop, is this normal? Called walker they said the coloring is normal for their SS mufflers.
I really don’t know what mpg I’m getting I never really cared.
Is the only way to check fuel to air ratio with a dyno test?
I’m probably getting myself worked up over nothing but with gas prices these days I can’t help myself from wondering, lol.
