If your spark plugs are way past due.. this will cause your car to run extremly rich.. if a car is running too rich this may cause flames to come from the exhaust pipes

Re: ok anybody know how to do that, need directions
No that will make it run lean..
you can buy a Super AFC from Apex'i that will alow you to control the richness mixture

i need directions, i dont know the whole electronics of it, to make it run rich you can pull out an O2 sensor right?

are you sure, b/c i was sure that was rich
i remember somebody said that when ever they went to the track they took out their O2 sensors to make it rich and burn more fuel, then there was a discussion regarding how richer wasnt faster.

No Lean is faster... pull your front O2 sensor out.. drive around with it.. and i bet you will get a Code for Knock Sensor and Lean Mixture

Re: you think its actually faster to pull the O2 sensors
I don't think you should every pull your O2 sensors if they are not bad.. they are very sensistive.. if you are that interested in getting the edge.. strip the car or something.. take all your seats out.. but don't start messing with electronics.. then you are looking at blowing your engine if you don't know what you are doing and then your have a more expensive problem and no transportation

I did it...
I did this on my 66 mustang back in high school... I'm now 33. It worked great, and shot blue flames out the tailpipes about 3ft, and made a surprising amount of noise!
To do this, a button was pushed to ground out the coil and charge a second one in the trunk that was hooked to spark plugs in the tailpipes. When the engine coil was grounded, it killed the ignition, which allowed raw fuel to flow through the engine and to the tailpipes (pumping the double pumper carb also added fuel to the fire). Major flamage were the result... too cool!
BUT, this was with a point style ignition and no catalytic converters. Grounding out the coil (or coils on a Maxima) on a modern car with fuel injection might not be a good idea... plus, the catalytic converters would burn the excess fuel in the exhaust (and glow red hot in the process).
To pull off flames in a modern automobile, I'd go a different route. A coil in the trunk hooked to sparkplugs in the tailpipes is good, but, a different fuel source is needed. Propane plumbed into the exhaust would be the route I'd take. Open the propane valve, then light the plugs!
Of course, do this at your own risk. You could cause a fire... possibly to your own vehicle. However, it would deter tail gaters.
Good Luck!

An over-rich mixture may be caused by ...
- a bad Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- bad Oxygen Sensor(s)
- bad Fuel Pressure Regulator
- sticking fuel injectors
- an obstructed fuel return line

I doubt anyone on this forum will produce enough heat from the exhaust gas to ignite a rich exhaust gas mixture. If you want to do it right, you need HP to create hot exhaust pipes PLUS extra fuel to make it run rich.
If you install the ghetto "I wanna shoot flame setup" you can risk fawking up your engine by allowing the the flames to flow back into the combustion chamber. I've never witnessed it in person nor do I know anyone that has had this happen; I've only heard stories through third parties.
