Re: [AMC-list] Non AMC Question...

If it really was "running fine" before the innocent-seeming exhaust work,
I'd revisit that. Catverter O2 sensors broken/missing? A good scanner should
tell you that sort of detail.

It may be that the hole you drilled to let exhaust out is really letting
oxygen in, the sensor sees that, thinks it's from the cylinders, and turns
the fuel knob accordingly. You can't mess with closed-loop computer cars
like that, they mindlessly try to compensate!
