I need a little help. It's not a honda but I've been around this forum for a while and know that there are some knowledgeable people here. My car is a toyota corolla with a silvertop 4ag engine. It somes stock with ITB's and I'm running a standalone. Here's the situation:
I drove out to willow springs yesterday and noticed that the car tends to bog going up hills. Since willow springs is at a higher altitude (probably 1500 feet or so) than my place I was wondering if that would make a difference. I know altitude makes a difference on carbs, but it doesn't seem like it would matter too much on my car, especially since its only 15000 ft higher in altitude. Then I was thinking that it may be because the car is under load because I feel the bog when going up hills (but I also feel it sometimes when going around town). I'm not sure if my car was tuned with speed-density or alpha-n. I've read that alpha-n can cause problems in calculating the right fuel under load. It just seems wierd that my car runs great at home, but the two times I have been to Willow Springs, the car has had problems bogging. Or maybe the boggin could be something completly different. Any input would be appreciated.

 

Sounds like you are running wayyy rich.

 

It shouldn't be running rich. The car was tuned by Church Automotive and It doesn't smell rich
