what would cause a system to rich?

funny enough i went to a mitsu dealer looking at a evo and the car started stumbling almost stalling then jumping foward at upper rpm

first thought was hmm driving that miata screwed my driving skills up, till the check engine light and stalling started


any idea what would cause this ??

The car was pissed you are gonna trade it in!! Even though an Evo would be a hell of a trade! I would clean your MAF with some fuel injection cleaner. Might wanna clean your throttle body too. Might have oil built up behind it.

it was the vacuum cap i think, i took it off and put it back on tighten the oil cap and pushed some hoses on tight and it went back to normal.... car is pretty sensitive so it seems

mazda dealer said i have to put my factory airbox back on before they would look at it... tards but o well... evo is tempting just feels a little on the cheap feeling side, looking at bmw and porches have screwed with my sense of quality

i drove the new m3 at the bmw dealer is was nice but it feels like a massive car, the 1 series they had was a auto and i hated the gear box but the interior was nice. i am looking forward to the new boxter spyder to come out its a very sexy car but a little expensive.

funny driving 40-50,000$ cars and the mitsu dealer wont let me try the evo, i said cool what ever
