my car aint running right, it runs really rich, and pops when you back off, even with the cat on  i do need to get it mapped, but cant afford to, it shouldnt be this much of a problem with the lexmaul and a viper should it really?

No that shouldnt cause them problems matey, as you still got all your standard inlet route etc, try looking t you lambda sensor or coolant temp sensor

i meant changing these parts, the collant temp sensor will cause poor running, rich or lean, as will the labda sensor, run the fault codes off using a paper clip if your cars not newer than r-reg, search on www.topbuzz.co.uk for paperclip test to see how
