well i finnally got everything put in my talon and hooke everything up. i fired it up and it sounded good and rpms could actuially rise. then when it got warm and i tryed to give it some gas the rpms dont wanna go up any higher then 2.5 grand. its bogs and hesitates and black smoke comes out the exhaust. i have no clue what is wrong. the check engine light goes on and off. also when i took out the spark plugs they were pure black so iam running really rich when warm. please help me any advise would be apreciated. thanks
 
You dont have an AFC or anything right thats not properly tuned?

I know when I upgraded to 550's a ways back and fired up the car right away that happened.

You could also have dirty injectors that need to be cleaned and balanced. I also had this problem on my old talon. See if you can send them out and have them cleaned up. Id be willing to bet thats the problem.

Borrow a friends first and see if its the injectors.
 
hmm intresting you think i would be running rich with dirty injectors? 02 sensor iam gonna check on. if only i had a place that can spit out the code my ecu is throwing. thanks for the help guys
