Well after checking a few things, and seemingly not finding anything, I decided it would be a good thing to drop Ripple off at the mechanic's. It is just way too cold here in CT to work on him, not to mention that it gets dark when I get out of work.
Dr Dennis was great as usual, after a fuel system pressure test, was able to find and replace the temp sensor for fuel injection. Found that I was running at 1000 PPM, he was able to get me down to under 100 PPM. Adjusted my idle, and some other things, and disconected my O2 sensor because it was still running sloppy. ( Even though was replaced back in Feb it was affected by the rich mixture ) I have to replace that still. Will do soon........
Now Ripple even better than before, it feels as though he's got way more horse power.........
thank you everyone for all your help, you guys are great..............
have fun,
Tracy
