Is there a problem??????

Without getting too in depth, here it is. My car just doesn't "feel" right, so I hooked up free scan. I'm having trouble recording so this is the basics of it.

Knock count is about 4000 with no retard
L o2 reads .950 all the time. It may move a little to .850 at around 3500
R 02 reads anywhere from .100 @ idle to about .750 at 3500

I have the Lt4 hot cam w/ KM and heads. I've lost about .5 off my ET in 1/8, and it smells rich as he**. Gas milage is kind of down, but nothing outragous. I'm trying t oget all the bugs worked out before I throw it the laugh gas. I need some help as to wether it's in tuning, or component failure, or just nothing.
Thanx for the time,

Jeremy

Re: Is there a problem??????

The knock count is a cumulative register. It's just telling you how many "knocks" it counted. It will automatically reset after it gets to a particular threshold. Nothing really to concern yourself with. IMO, the register only has real value if you are also watching when you are getting the knock counts and correlating the two.

If your O2 is stuck reading the same thing all the time, it is not working properly. Check wiring and/or replace sensor.

Re: Is there a problem??????

Thanks for the reply. I'm gonna do another shakedown of the wires to the O2. Maybe I'll change the left one just to eliminate a possibility. I've still got to change plugs/wires for nitrous. Maybe between all of it I'll straighten it out. Is there a way/is it reasonable to tune out the front o2's?
