Damn that's pretty bad. Have you done a service on your car lately? With one gallon left I get 270miles full 10 gallons I get about 290-320

[jhondayaaj]

Holy cow. That's terrible!

I use to get 450 miles to the tank, and with all the mods, my best was 400. Dude. Something ain't right......

[cb7rush]

i know..but the only thing that I havent changed would have to be my injectors. im starting to think that theyre going bad.

I do have a small exhaust leak right on the flex pipe. I did change my o2 like a week ago, fuel filter has less than 5k on it. everything has been changed that has to deal with fuel, and now im stumped. we did adjust my timing a week ago, but i dont have a timing light to check it.

Took mine to the dealer the other day needed rotors possibility a clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder and their going to see if they can find whats killing the battery.




That bill should be fun.

Fuel problem was a faulty new denso o2 sensor. Fixed a bad exhaust leak i had.

Car feels like i gained 10hp and sounds normal now

i am about to light mine on fire -_-
so after fixing the head gasket and all that fancy shit... it overheated on me today AGAIN, just as i was pulling up at home, the overflow hose was spewing steam like it was going out of style lol, so im all out of ideas now...

Did you change your rad cap and thermostat? Most of the time thats the problem.

actually it broke my 16lb safety cap :O but yea replaced that, just dropped in a new thermostat, did a complete flush.
Imma go drive it tonight see how it goes from there, if its not that i don't know what else it could be.

Besides that i love the way it sounds at the top end, i don't know what happened but when i gun it past 5k rpm it sounds like there's an exhaust cut-off lol scares the shit out of people. Still need to get rid of the fart can though.

EDIT: it did it again... this time i ran it with the fan on at all times (jumped temp sensor A) but the temp read just below half. Drove for about 30 min like that when i pulled over the overflow tank was full! and i don't mean to the full line i mean to the top of the tank, never done that. so i took the jumper off since when i turned the car off the fan didn't kick in. Drove back home and by the time i got off the freeway the needle was at H, but it kept going back down and up. I got home and turned the car off, the fan kicked in and there was steam coming out the overflow tank
I'm looking threads up on here before i start one lol.

Your cap is bad and the cool temp sensor might not be turning your fans on..
