    Fuel smelling oil is bad. Probably means you've smoked a piston or ring.

    As for lean, yeah, you are lean if your manis are glowing. That's bad btw and I'd suggest fixing the major vacuum leaks etc quickly. Do you have a maf screen in the TB?

    Keep running like you are and you'll be replacing a motor soon.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    TAKE THAT PULLEY OFF. and get a 3.4 instead.

    I would not even drive it till the headers come in. And get a better tune than ZZP.
