How do you knwo its running rich?

Does it blow out black smoke!??!

First of all, we don’t suck
You didn’t leave any details that could solve this!

With the smoke after you punch it, guess what?
That’s is supposed to happen!
All Honda’s run rich high, fuk I think most cars do!

As for your fuel going down heaps quick, what fuel you putting in your car?
In mine Woolworths fuel goes down quicker then BP Ultimate (by about 150km)
So have you changed your fuel lately?

For the “sluggish” fell, your injectors might be blocked or a fuel pump!
Do you have a flat spot?

If you can give us some more details on what it does and when it does it.
Also what model lud?

well 2 days later and still no replies of course his gonna say that.

anyway, i doubt ur fule is leaking, liek someone said, could be something to do with yoru fuel components, such as fuel filter/injectors/rails/ ot the lines leading to it which i doubt.

Hey Guys, Ok so the smoke is normal hey cool cool i can handle that,
well it is a 97 5th gen, SS
and when i am crusining in 4th gear around 80Kmh and i accelarate it is as though something is pusshing it back like it is missing or something, will check the fuel filter and stuff tonite, just had a 80K Service from Honda it self abt 4 months ago

[LUD02C]

Check injectors!
Or fuel line or maybe the fuel line has some slack in it

apologies abt the sucky comment :D hehehe

Yeah there's a lot of people with these issues - might want to search "hesitation" on PA... big discussion on it a few months back... It levelled down to many things, injectors requiring carbon clean, fuel pump, grounding, plugs, wires... etc
