300TE Poor fuel economy
Time to tackle it again...
This has been an ongoing issue since I have bought the car. I've kept track of all mileage and the average I get around town+freeway is 15-16mpg. On long trips between states, I get 19-21mpg. Bought car 2006 @ 66k, I'm now at 107k Spark plugs are OE H9DC0 New wires, rotor, cap, ovp, (used) coil New o2 sensor, Duty cycle is closed loop 50% New injectors + seals No vacuum leaks of any kind all hoses replaced Rebuilt Fuel distributor + EHA All filters and fluids No fuel smells or any sort of fluid loss. Head has been rebuilt. About the ONLY item I have not replaced (although checked volts) is the airflow potentiometer....Voltage came out to spec. I guess also the idle control valve? I plan to flow test the fuel system to make sure that comes to spec, but I can't imagine its bad since I've replaced everything including the distrib! Any other ideas or suggestions? I KNOW I should be doing better than this. I would be much more content if I was getting ~20mpg average and I believe I should be.
