  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Running Better

    Okay, this is another one of my stupid questions...

    Background:
    I don't drive much, and the first few times I did after getting the new exhaust it ran pretty poor (I didn't have a chance to investigate at the time). Knowing I have carb problems I left it be until one day, coming out of a store, I noticed a puddle where one shouldn't (couldn't) be. I decided to check anyway - yep, it was there before I parked b/c there is nothing on that part of the car that could drip.

    Coincidentally, I noticed a plug wire on either side was disconnected. Probably from the exhaust shop when looking for the manifold leak. I reconnected them and, needless to say, it runs much smoother and my mileage has improved.

    However, now I don't have to keep my foot on the gas at stop lights, and it doesn't diesel when I shut down. Not that I'm arguing, I'm just curious as to the finer points of engine operation.
    I know a 350 can idle (rough, but not stall) on 7 cylinders, so I'm a bit confused over this and the dieseling.

    Teach me.
