[QUOTE="Sethsual, post: 13466842, member: 149913"] I stumbled upon a silver 2000 Lightning last night and have been in contact with the owner all morning. I am looking for a (mostly) stock 99-04, and I'm not too worried about higher mileage as I plan on DD'ing it. Anyhow, here is what I'm looking at: 108K miles, and a claim that the motor was rebuilt about 20K ago due to "a ticking noise". Owner says it is bored .30 over, has a CAI, unk headers and unk cat-back exhaust, and 80 lb injectors. I asked the owner why there are 80's on there as I don't think the rest of the mods call for it, and he said that they were there when he bought the truck. If that was the end of it, I'd probably make an offer. Instead, what has me here typing this out is the fact that it has a Check Engine Soon light illuminated. The owner says that it has been illuminated for the three years he has owned it, and that the code it throws shows that it is running rich (hello 80 lb injectors?!). He justifies this because it is tuned (by an unknown tuner). Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't a [I]properly[/I] tuned car be spot-on air/fuel-wise? lol I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts. Thanks [/QUOTE]
