Terrible Fuel Economy
My car is getting about 14 mpg. Cruising on the interstate at 62mph it gets a little less I think.
Here is what I have done: Rebuilt the head New valves, and refinished seats New guides/ seals Head was perfectly flat Intake and exhaust gaskets Chain guides for timing chain, front seal Custom cam grind, very mild- probably less than a "euro" cam Plugs, wires, cap and rotor Had the EHA and fuel mix reset About 6 months ago I was getting 22mpg average, no matter how I drove. The economy dropped off, and oil consumption increased, so I decided to rebuild the head. Pulled it myself, and had a pro do the machine work. Now, after close to $1000 of parts and several weeks of my free time I cannot figure out why it uses more fuel than an overloaded Freightliner. There are two things that possibly could help. Injectors and a new O2 sensor. Will these two things, in combination, or alone, cause such a drop in fuel economy?
