Were you able to find the cause of the low mileage you were getting?

Were you able to find the cause of the low mileage you were getting?

i think it was a combo of engine coolent temp sensor and the o2's

i was getting 100-150 miles a tank and just yesterday i got close to 250

 

[Rob94]

Still seems low. I routinely get 350-400 out of a tank. Have you cleared and rerun the codes?

I agree, still seems low. I wonder if your t-stat is stuck open. I get about the same mileage as Rob, with 186K, bad O2's, a bad knock sensor, and 97 octane (but new t-stat and ECT sensor). Something still ain't quite right...

 

[TheKrazyRaven]

hum.... so what else should i try?

 

[TheKrazyRaven]

well i just changed out the t-stat

the old one was definatly stuck open

Yep I get anywhere from 250 to 300 miles a tank full depending on Atlanta traffic.
I get 350 to 450 miles a tank full when I drive long distance.
