    advice on running so rich?

    In short, the car is running very rich and the idle oscillates between 8 and 1000,the valve cover is leaking, aswell as the oilpan , i get the engine light/code for iginition coil 1 but it goes and comes with throttle manipulation. I assume the coil/wire is bad im also going turbo soon so i opted to convert to coil on plug. Whilst confronting this issue.

    Along with the bad spark im certain the fact that i stripped the 2 intake manifold studs, may be contributing to a bit of a vaccuum leak? or is it not that bad? (The nut does lock it gets sort of tight then spins around)

    So my question ultimately is would the stripped bolts on the intake manifold allow for air leaks? Does the leaky valve cover and oil pan contributed to vacuum leak? Does a code show up when the 02 sensor is bad or should i assume its bad since running rich? I have alll the parts ready to install even the studs (any idea how to replace these?)

    Verify that each wire is delivering spark.

    Stripped manifold studs would probably cause a vac leak. Leaky VC might, oil pan probably wouldn't.

    I don't really know your mechanical skill level, but if you are asking these questions it seems doubtful that you would not have a good time going turbocharged.

      Your right, you dont know my "mechanical skill level". So if you arent going to provide any usefull information the FoH.... The questions that are being asked are based on the understanding of the theory of vacuum and keeping the system completely sealed in order to maintain optium operation, it has nothing to do with my "mechanical skill level" I didnt ask for your input on how i will fair turbocharging...this isnt my first rodeo and i so happened to be simply confirming my already concluded ideas as to why im facing these issues so you 2 cents is less the useless at this point.

        If you already knew the answers why would you ask the questions?

        I wasn't trying to be rude to you, but as you chose to go there I wish you all the worst going forward. ;)

          You werent trying to be rude? Yet you chose to answer half of my questions and give a pretentious opinion on something totally off topic? Your a clown broski and if you would read properly, i asked to confirm what i was thinking, get a second opinion, thats what forums are for clown. "It seems doubtful that you would not have a good time going turbocharged" it seems doubtfull that you speak english very well

            Right, big typographical error on my part, forgot you were a moron, my mistake.

            Edit:

            ...and that's all I'm going to post in this thread as I enjoy the generally reasonable tone of the M42 section and see no reason to pollute it further.
