Hi all. I can't get more than 310kms out of a tank 'round town in the wagon. It is sucking about 22-23 per 100. I am not even flogging it! The car is still standard & I will shortly be going the pacey's & 2 1/2" plumbing. It seems to be running fine so why the thirst?
Cheers |

Try O2 sensors, MAF, TPS and air filter mate, as a starting point.

when i first bought my ef xr8 25ltrs wouldn't even see me 100k's
 i pulled the electrics out of the MAF and cleaned all the s**t off it with nulon throttle body clean i also done this to the inside of the housing the ISC and in the throttle body.
now im seeing about 120-135k's to 25ltrs of PULP.

All the above would be possible causes. *Clean the MAF and T/B with carby cleaner. *Check/Replace o2 sensors. *Check/Replace water temp sensor. But on a different note, i went away this long weekend and took my EB for its first long trip since i owned it. I managed to get 595 kms out of 60 lts which i couldnt believe. Thats 10l/100kms. Noral around town driving i usually get around 460-480 kms per tank. |
