Ihave been noticing something lately with my savage 4.6. I do believe its half a tank lean but Ithought Iwould ask you guys and see what you think. Iget the truck running and tuned in and after a while after a full throttle run or holding at half throttle to long Iget really high rpms before it goes back down to idle. Is this HTL ? If so Iwas wondering is there a easier way to cure it other than the mid tank mod? Iknow this has probably been asked before but Icouldnt really get a good answer on it reading back in the forums. Any help would be appreciated

hey did you cheke if you engine is sealed? maby its leaking air and for the mid tanks mod its very easy buy about 4 ft long fuel tubing and swirl it around the arm to pick up the truck make sur it doesnt go on top because if you flip, the tubing will rip, il take a pic tonight it will help

Yes, if the engine is runnning a bit lean at WOT (lean HSN), the idle can hang high for a few seconds until the LSN metering fully takes over the fuel/air mixture. The idle will eventually drop to normal when this happens.

If this doesn't happen until the fuel level in the tank drops, then you have a HTL problem. If it's minor, then you can get away with richening the HSN a bit and your engine will run a bit rich with a full tank of fuel and performance will improve as the tank empties.

Or you can try a different tank.

Another alternative to cure HTL is here:

Iwill try that messing with the HSNwhen Iget it up and running again. hopefully it fixes the problem Ithought Iwas getting lucky not having a HTL problem but it looks like it might have finally showed up.
