    Just finished overhauling the car and running into problems


    so heres what i kno...


    the engine light is on... p0171 too lean
    I erased the code and it came back
    there is still some old gas in the tank with sea foam but i just filled it up with new gas
    i have 3 new spark plugs because i broke the original 3 when doing the headers. (this is what happens when u work in the dark)
    new wires
    overkill tune
    oil pressure fluctuating significantly will sometimes drop low enough for the warning light to flash and then rise to 120. on the way home tonight it was idling in the high 100's also driving in the high 100s
    i have a exhaust leak from my headers, towards the resonator
    I dont think the knock sensor works because my scan guage says 0 constantly in KR1
    short trim is 25 and long is 16.4
    AFR is at 14.7 and drops to 11.0 when the supercharger kicks in
    sounds like a lawn mower, closest thing i can equate it too




    What i dont kno...


    how to fix it
    why is it happening
    and what the engine is supposed to sound like, i haven't got to drive it stock in 6 months
