may have solved fuel economy problem Posted by TML [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
In regards to my recent post about bad fuel economy, I may have solved it. I may be jumping the gun, something I've NEVER done before ;-), but going by the instantaneous readout I notice a significant change, especially at lower speeds. Maybe it's a placebo effect.
Here's what I did last night:
-replaced fuel filter (overdue at 84k)
-replaced purge valve (was loud, new one isn't whisper quiet either, but better)
-installed open air filter
-replaced the rubber PVC bushing on the valve cover (7515190)
I think what did it was the bushing. I ordered it because the old one seemed kind of loose, and I figured at $1 I might as well just replace it. I never even thought about it having an effect on performance. However, when I removed the old one I saw that it was actually cracked badly, disintegrating, and would have been leaking a lot.
Anyway, time will tell if this really made the difference I think it did.
