um you need can't run it with a vacuum leak

it runs like a champ, just rich as hell and i have to driv it like an ls with monster cams ( it wants to die when i stop so i got to keep on the gas)

J-SMITH69

no such thing as monster cams for a honda motor. you have a vacuum leak or something.

running rich & won't idle = vacuum leak

you need to atleast attach the vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator. at wot there is not vac and it raises the fuel psi to 40psi (around there). But at idle and light throttle it has vac and lowers psi to around 28. so if you have no vac EVER on there it will always run 40psi causing it to be rich and use alot of fuel.

in short, HOOK THAT UP

good luck, let me/us know how that turned out.

thats funny plug wires.... After I got my custom exhuast mine guzzles about 10 mpg. I dunno what it is but Imma try a different exhaust... its 2.25" crush bent and I think the bends are too small for even a golf ball to fit through em.
