Well, your previous readings of a/f have ZERO bearing on your situation now.

You also are not answering my questions. You're in gear, at what rpm when it is bucking?

I'm asking some pretty simple questions, and getting a negative response. I'm not sure where your attitude comes from, so I'm done with helping in this thread.

i have to say it again.. the smell and the soot = testpipe. maybe ur cat went bad?

I am not getting attitude and you are not gettingt a negative response, you are getting defensive because you ask questions that have been answered. Here is an answer to a question of yours that has not been answerd.
The car bucks in first and second gear. Other gears are too tall to try and take of from a stop. When I say buck, I mean buck real bad. Not like the take off in too low rpm buck, but a 3000 rpm buck.

As far as A/F reading, there where for reference. The thing with the readings was it would go super rich after I would lift off the throttle (not normal. it should not dump fuel).
Also its a new cat.
The car will smoke REAL bad if I get on it.

Just for future reference. My fist mod on my car was a test pipe. It NEVER left soot on my bumper, it made it turn yellow.

The main purpose of this thread is to see if anyone on this site had the same problem.
I searched Honda-Tech.com and some say it might be rings, valve seals or a bent valve.

Agin, Im not getting attitude. You seemed to question me scratching your head when the aswers where right there. I now what a normal s2000 drives like, I had one at one time

Our car doesnt have a fuel filter, only a "fuel sock"

Another thing I read on Honda-tech.com was that it might be a timing issue.
Is there any way an AEM EMS might throw off my timing after it was taken out?
I dont see how, but Im usually wrong

It sure sounds like rich mixture. Maybe your A/F is not what you think it is?

my civic did that...was running really rich and i couldnt hit vtak. mine was boosted. shot black soot all over the drive way.

my guess....running rich as balls

I think you got the answers

f20kills

OK, a stock car running rich as hell.
What would cause that?

Thanks and keep'em coming.

Is it the same exhaust system that was used with the turbo? If it is, that is the source of all the soot.

Stock cars run 12-12.5 AF#'s under load, and blow out the soot in the exhaust system when you get on the throttle. Many other Honda's do the same. My car has done it since day 1, before a SC was ever installed.
