Pull the plugs and check for damage.

Bummer. I wonder what happened? I've run mine pretty lean a few times and didn't break anything.

It's possible to get the motor out the top but it's going to be easier to just drop the whole cradle like the book says. I did an STS motor out the top and it sucked.

Don't want to rain on your party but when the fuel pump stops working the car stops also. It would not go lean it would just shut off. Unless you were doing a 160 mph at wot and the engine was turning so fast it ran lean before it could slow back to normal. But they will not pay for that type of driving. And the computer will tell them the story.
