by any chance did you try that seafoam stuff?
You could be running extremely rich for some reason.......

What would seafoam do ? Destroy the rings. Ive heard its safe though. But i have used it and i didnt really see a difference besides the fact that it clogged my o2 sensors. I got my compression checked after i used it ...150 in all 4. Im not sure if it was like that before though. I should have had it checked prior. Anyway now my idle is funny im not sure if that has anything to do with the seafoam.

Yeah. And I've heard that after using the seafoam - the black **** will come out of the exhaust for a few days.......its supposed to loosen the baked on dirt and grime.

That makes alot of sense now but i checked all the threads and nobody mentioned it. Also on the can itself it says o2 sensor safe. But i guess that means the product is safe, not the carbon that it breaks up. Anyway i cleaned the o2 sensors and they worked fine after.

carb cleaner
black **** on your bumper is common for modified cars. is your car 100% stock, meaning nothing modified, only maintenance work with oem parts?

Depending on what it's contaminated with, some have had a little success hitting the element with a MAP gas torch flame.
