Quote: The high HC numbers on the smog test support the "gas in the oil" theory, and/or possible misfire. Can you smell gas on the dipstick? You can also hold a lit match under a wet dipstick, and if it flares up, that means gas in the oil.
While you're replacing stuff, might wanna add PCV valve to the list. Cheap and easy to replace. I'll try to check AllData this weekend for info on hose routing, etc. (we were offline last weekend). If that black box isn't the baro sensor housing, I wanna find out what it is! At first I thought charcoal canister, but it sounds too small, wrong shape, etc. Steve 1966 Dodge Dart GT that sounds like a good test.(the match test.ill try and let u know.) does that mean that i have a leaking feul pump as slant 6ram suggested? thanks for the suggestion about the pcv valve. ill do that in the morning. and there is a misfire. i did a full tuneup but its still there. only thing i ddnt replace is the points if there are any. i replaced plugs, wires, dist. cap, rotor cap, i havent tried timing her yet, smog tech says its right. thanks for all the help guys. the outlook is getting better. |

It could be a leaking fuel pump or your engine could be running very rich. |

Can't say for sure if there's a leaky fuel pump, but if there's gas in the oil it's a pretty good bet. You wouldn't have points on your '82, so that's something you don't have to worry about changing. Since your smog readings are a couple years old, we probably shouldn't analyze them too closely. Might want to look at the fuel control/carb adjustments, since you've already replaced much of the ignition stuff. Running too lean or too rich can cause the misfire. If the fuel pump is not the problem, maybe it's the carb. Reading the plugs can tell you if it's running too rich or too lean (black plugs = too rich or oil-fouled). Steve |

Hate to bring up a two week old thread, but... Splitfire, are you still having problems? I think I remember seeing something about this setup in my truck manual, '83. I'll look at it when I get home. |

Wait until the new truck won't pass smog in 2 years (last I checked cali law says every 2 years you smog it) then lets see what sort of nightmare he gets into trying to fix it And you thought a feedback carb was complex..... wait until you start poking around an OBDII vehicle. |
