428 FE breathes Fire

Hey DonnieR32,

I hope the wedding plans are in going well.
Just remember to say these words and you'll be fine. "Yes dear! As you wish dear"


Flames in the pipes on lifting the throttle are normally due to unused fuel running through the pipes. This typically means your engine is running a little rich. Leaning it out might help to reduce the flame. Leaning it out too much however, could probably cause you more problems/damage than running a little rich. ie: burning valves, etc...

Other, more experienced members will no doubt chime in here with a more thorough overview.

Take care.

I think you have an air leak between the header and side pipe. Mine does it too, only on the passenger side. Great way to scare away ricers who want to race you. Jim

Hmmm, so that's not necessarily going to cause damage because it's so far from the block? Yeah, I'll use it to melt the plastic of the next Scion that revs its engine at me.

Or I heard it was excess fuel dripping into the exhaust pipe (previous owner) his approach was it's an old car, enjoy the show.

The wedding and honeymoon are now over. Thank you very much they went well.

The previous owner had a similar answer, but we were discussing it via text message so, I posted here to get a more thorough answer.....guess it can't be all that bad.
