What're the Consequences of running too Lean or too Rich?!
Like the Title says, what are the consequences of running too Lean or too Rich?
Just last night, my car threw a CEL and it came out to be a Code 45 - System Too Lean or Too Rich malfunction in the fuel monitoring systems
I have absolutely NO money for me to get my car checked up, so I'll have to be drivin my car around like this for awhile.
Also, is the best solution going to a Dyno and let them do the Fuel stuff? LMK!

Too rich can mean flouled plugs and bad economy, or (in very extreme cases) you could blow your rings. Too lean can be bad - leads to detonation. Check your spark plugs to see which it might be. In any event I would take care of it asap...

between the 2, running lean is the greater evil. If it is lean increase your fuel pressure for a temporary fix whit spark plugs are indicitive of a lean situation.
