I need some help... My '91 Talon 2.0 Non-turbo (5-speed) which I use in the 4-cylinder class dirt track racing is running very lean. I installed some COMP cams, a header system, cold air intake, hotter plugs and 9.3 mm plug wires. I have the timing set at 12 degrees, which is about 7 degrees more than stock. Does anyone know why this is happening to my car? And what do I need to do to correct this problem? Please let me know ASAP. You can email me at drkewk@verizon.net. Thanks!

More details please. How do you know it is running lean? Is it knocking on the logger or have you run it on a wideband O2?

Are you running it on race gas to compensate for the extra timing to have you tried to to see if it helps fix things?

I'm also curious about the timing advance. 7 degrees base advance is quite a bit.

At least I'm not the only one having problems with my N/A. Where are you from Alien? I might be available for some wrenching. And yes, how do you know it's running lean? Please please don't say you are judging that off an Autometer A/F gauge.
