meh.... It all depends how you were doing it... If you were at a stoplight and reving it or if you were driving at full throttle.... But your intake should be leaning out since you are not tuned.... But I can understand if it was warm out then the vehicle running a little extra rich! Just keep an eye on it and how is your average fuel mileage? Is it good, decent or bad!

Yes it will... Between a different Plenum (spacer if you have it), non-oem intake, and exhaust will lean it out! Trust me....

Well if we are adding parts to his car that he doesnt have then well S@it yeah he will run lean......those twin turbo's will lean out his car in a heart beat if you dont add some fuel...



lets stick to the facts! He clearly stated that he has a "Stillen intake and a coupe Mid-pipe". The what "ifs" can and will lean his car out, but I seriously doubt the two mods he actually has will.

Not to metion that his problem is most likely not caused by a lean condition.

If your car doesn't burn oil or get crap fuel milage, I wouldn't worry about it.

how warm is the engine when you do this? Does this happen when you first start it up or are you driving for atleast 15 minutes

How dirty is your air filter? It might be clean enough for low speed running but can't flow enough air at high revs.

youre running rich. I think you might not be burning all your fuel. I had this problem once before in my maxima. I think tuning your car will help.

Seafoam it, change your plugs and you should be fine. It's doesn't sound like anything really to be concerned about.
