Running rich would explain the shitty mpg wouldnt it? like 13-17 city maybe 21 highway. or could poor compression have something to do with that as well? in either case wtf do i do about it?

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
yes on both cases...
As far as what to do about it... you would want to do (or have done a compression check). If it is low, you would want to look at rebuilding or replacing the motor.
If compression is good, then you start the normal troubleshooting as found in the factory manuals

the bonez was burnt up, wasnt doin **** when i first got it the car was actualy tolarable to stand behind then it went back to smellin like a carbed v8 with no cats. so i said screw it and gut them. i disconnected the airline cuz it was rattling. im pretty sure thats why it burnt up.
