my freind boosted a car and before it was tuned it smelled like gas like a **** and that was rich. rich in gas. if it was lean it would probably seem like it was about to die because basically ur starving the engine of gas.

pull the plugs out. if white, you're lean. if black (not from oil), you're running rich.
