Re: New Member with Poor Gas Mileage

Odds are its not the ECU. Change the plugs and PCV now and see what that gets you. Then clean the throttle body use good gas no ethanol that got me 4mpg more.

Re: New buy and plug pics

Temps have been all over the place 20-50 F. Tires 36psi, MAF cleaned second tank. Plugs were NGK IV, also have the auto so I think I have done almost all I can, the 420 is off more than on so far. I hope the new front O2 helps on this tank. Thanks for helping.

Re: New buy and plug pics

I am probably not right on this but is boost set to 14.7 for altitude at sea level? With all the changes I am making I'm sure how good my MPG readings are.

Re: New buy and plug pics

Did you just do all the standard info or did you adjust any of the extra fields?
Boost = 14.7
volumetric efficiency = 85
MPG trim = 1.0
ODB speed multiplier = 1.0

is this what you use and get 3% error.

Thanks much

Re: New buy and plug pics

Thanks, did a pcv valve today might help some more. I might need to test the CAT what way might be best a temp front to back test, or vacuum test. If it's a back pressure test might need to have that done. The 420 does go on and off, so might not to bad yet. Any one using Torque app ? any tips? Than...
