Poor gas mileage??
I wonder how many miles you guys are getting for a full tank. I am currently at 104 for a half a tank with my b16. Is this normal or should i be getting more? I replaced the fuel filter, if my miles are too low, what else could I do??
Thanx

Check to see if all your vacume lines and hoses are properly connected and not pinched or leaking. A clogged pcv valve or fuel filter can also cause poor fuel mileage along with numerous other things. I'd recommend a tune up, along with what i mentioned above. I, once, accidentally left the bottom line( the line that goes into the firewall) to my charcoal canister disconnected after changing my fuel filter, and it caused chitty gas mileage.

Well this engine is new, just built like a month ago. New distri., new internals, timing belt, plugs, wires... I connected all my vacuum lines too, but maybe incorrectly. Is there a diagram anywhere for vacuum lines?
And could it be the fuel pump or injectors, because I had poor gas mileage w/ my other motor as well..?

Well we replaced my ls injectors and fuel pressure regulator with gsr ones today, but i doubt that will solve anything... The thing is if it was BURNING too much fuel u could see it either coming wout the exhaust or plugs would be black. My plugs are in the perfectest condition i have ever seen, the are GOLDEN Brown. Does anyone think there could be a leak in the gas tank or something?? :noes:
