Popping In Exhaust at Idle....Rich
It's a 92 LT1 vette (6 speed) and is all stock as it sits now. I have a popping through the exhaust which I have determined to be because it is running rich at idle. Tried a new map sensor, coolant temp sensor reads good, new ignition module and coil, new O2 sensors, checked for leaks that would create a false lean, and put on new exhaust manifold gaskets. Fuel pressure reads good as well. This has happened ever since I owned the car and I can't figure out what it is. I do have Autolite 104's in it because of a nitrous kit, but obviously i don't spray it right now with this issue. You can see it running way rich on a scanner, and then if I unplug the MAP sensor while it is running, you can see it lean back out and it idles perfect. I know it is running on default values at this point, but doesn't that eliminate it being an ignition problem? I can't drive it with no map sensor, but can't figure out what the problem is. Car runs great at full throttle and above 2000 rpm or so. HELP!!!!!!

I have thought about that. Although, why would it idle perfectly when I unplug the MAP sensor? Doesn't that rule out the possibility of a mechanical problem, and point to a sensor or something that provides input to the computer to alter fueling?
