Running too rich?
For those of you that have Evos, is your tail pipe covered with deep black soot? I just noticed it today on my car. I hear that the car runs rich but I was surprised to see how black the inside of the tip is. My other cars have barely any black soot in their pipes

correction the car runs HELLA rich, I datalogged 1.00 volts on the O2, properly tuned cars should be at 0.92-0.94 volts, 0.96 tops.

I'm confused, what is the stock AFR?

Yes... there are different ways to measure it, one is a ratio which is near 9.5-10.0 the other is volts which is how you can monitor it which is 1.00-1.01 volts. Running rich ok but running too right is a performance loss issue, the car should be ran inbetween, not too rich and not too lean.

cuising speeds are ok, but if you do floor it, and I know everyone does, the car runs beyond rich...
Let me put it like this, 3000gt's are known to run extremely rich stock, the evo runs wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy more then the 3000gt's do. It will plug the cat up in time if you floor the car alot... My cat is commin off man for all you F&F fans and ricers go throw a spark plug on ur tip $50 says you'll throw fire stock

I notice mine running real rich too. Exhaust tip reminds me of a chipped VW or Audi.I also noticed a lot of idle stumble today like its loading-up a little. If I rev it a bit it cleans-up, but I am thinking the rich stock AF/R may be contributing to this problem because the car still runs great.
I wasn't planning on doing an SAFC immediately, but if this trend continues I may have to. Thats my story for my wife anyway
