2.2 MORNING SMELL

[R3Z28]

I HAVE A 1987 SHELBY Z WITH A 2.2 INTERCOOLER AND A 5 SPEED, IN THE MORING WHEN AT A IDLE (BESIDES BEING ROUGH)THERE IS A RICH EXAUST SMELL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND THE CAR HAS NO POWER AT ANYTIME THE TIMING IS OK, AND COMPRESSION IS GOOD I THINK(#1=120 #2=140 #3=140 #4=140)I'VE CHECKED FOR FUEL LEAKS AND FOUND NONE, AND THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER. COULD IT BE THE CARCOAL CANISTER OR SOMETHING ELSE? ALL VAC. LINES HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A MUFFLER SHOP FOR A BACK PRESSURE CHECK AND IT WAS FINE THEY ALSO PUT IT ON A COMPUTER AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THANKS

check the vacum at idle through a scanner. This could tell you why it is running rich....at least let you know what the computer is seeing. If it is only doing this cold it may be your lash adjusters keeping the intake valves (don't laugh there is a bulletin on this)open a little and causing the vac to be low and then the map will tell the comp to inject too much fuel.
