Re: header frying my car

move the wires and stuff ?? What sais its running lean?? I have a header and intake and mine is running rich, and my engine light is on but thats because of a mismatch signal between my one o2 sensor and my o2 sensor simulater which is also the cause of running rich.

Re: header frying my car

if you increase the amount of air flowing through your intake/exhaust with a header, you naturally need to have more fuel injected into the engine to compensate for the increased air. it's possible you need more fuel pressure/larger injectors if your stock setup isn't delivering enough fuel to match the air.
