Hi,
My Spirit R/T has been sitting for the better part of the last 6 months awaiting certain parts (timing belt, and brakes among other things). I got everything back together , but now she's Idling rough and running pig rich. I've gotten it out and driving around town a bit, hoping it might burn off any junk in the fuel system, but there has been no change as of yet after about 50 miles. The Gas in there now is new. The fuel economy cluster reads a constant 14-17 MPG, and was getting 29-30 prior to this. There are no engine codes being pumped out when I check.
The car is stock. I haven't had a ton of face time working on this, because it's about an hour and a half away (at my dad's garage). I'm suspecting a vac leak, but figured I'd mention something here before i go down there today.
Any ideas?
