I think someone tried stealing my car this weekend...

After fixing the ground on the car, i drove it from the pole barn to near the house to get a free car wash with the rain we were suppose to get. It drove over perfect, no issues, idled like a dream, and pulled hard. I went up north for the opener this weekend and upon coming back sunday when i started it i could hardly keep it running. I drove it back to the pole barn to start tearing into it to see what happened.

The car would hardly idle, and would smell of gas horribly. However the AFR was pinned at 15:1 and would hardly move even when giving it gas or letting off the accelerator. So i decided to look into it the last few days and after getting back from school today i noticed several changes. It was set up as a pressure setting, 4 cylinder and the injectors were all set at +40 and throttle was decreased 10%. There were several wires cut loose of their tie downs under the dash down by the pedals, my ODBI cable was unplugged as was the wire harness to car alarm. The key is harder to turn than it was before and the CD is 4 songs past the one i left it on.

It was also left in reverse when i found it, and i always leave it in neutral for the remote start so it doesn't go anywhere. I'm starting to think more and more someone was in it this weekend. Damn people.
