Mileage problem after short ram?

[909_cb7]

so my previous gas mileage when i first got my cb was pretty low too like...21 ish? then i got my clutch redone and it totally boosted it up to like 29 easily then i put in an aem short ram and all of a sudden im getting shittier mileage than before like im bareeely breaking 19

can anyone help or tell me if this is a common problem? and if not, any help on how to fix it?

thanks guys.

it could possibly be that your ECU cannot compensate the new amount of air flow coming in, i would try to reset you ECU by taking out the ECU fuse for ten seconds and put it back in.

alright ill try that tomorrow, thanks for the tip

Have you changed your fuel filter yet?

[jmolina]

tune up maybe?
i get around 17 miles per gallon on my cb...wtf?

[909_cb7]

[909_cb7]

Before I got my SRI, I averaged anywhere between 26 and 32 mpg, depending on the ratio between city and highway miles. After I installed it, though, I found myself rev-matching every downshift and heel-and-toeing like no other, just so I could hear that glorious engine music. Three tanks in a row of 24mpg calmed my appetite, which brings me to my point. Most people typically drive with a heavier foot after getting this modification. I now average 27-33 mpg driving the same way I used to.
I would, however, reset the ECU.
