Maintenance on my '94 z28 pic heavy

[Mrmaroon]

Running open headers, with the O2 sensors in the collectors, can cause the engine to run rich. The backwash of air causes the O2 sensors to report a lean condition.

I read about that. I connected the pipes after the collectors but not the Y pipe to put the exits further back. I'm getting this muffler on soon it's to loud

I did some testing on the serial converter w/ FTDI chipset. You only need to connect pin M to Tx/Rx and pin A to Gnd. It's two wires only. Will post a pic of it when I can.

But you said you were running "open headers".... not open exhaust.

I guess I'm not quite smart enough to follow this thread.

I put them on after I posted that. I was afraid of melting my fuel lines. I don't know if it's a real worry or not.

Now I know how you guys with thousands of dollars and hours of work feel when you wreck.

I was up late doing some work on my car. Driving home there was a layer of snow dust on the road so I was trying to be careful. I hit a spot where all the snow had melted and at the end had turned to ice.

Crazy as I was doing 2 360 degree spins I strapped my seatbelt halfway. The whole time thinking "I'm going to be so pissed if I total this thing now!"

I went off the road backwards at a 45 angle and dropped about 4 feet into a flat patch of grass and stopped just short of an electric fence. I was driving around 45mph.

I drove the car out of it luckily and checked it at a station. everything looked ok. I need to check underneath. Don't think it did any major damage.

Ironically a mile after I got the car out a Mustang comes hauling ass towards me headed for the icy turn
