dangerous brain Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining about fuel efficiency here. I used to get about 18-20 mpg now I'm getting nearly half that. In my book there is something wrong for that to happen. I did an ECU reset and the funny idle thing sorted itself out for a couple of trips but returned back to "normal" pretty quickly. Whats an ICV?

imi Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 SOMETHING Control Valve what about your O2 sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 will be checking the O2 sensor today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I changed my O2 sensor... then found out it wasnt necessary to change it, however I did cut the wiring loom to connect my new one... doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 checked your plugs/coilpacks??? its a longshot but could explain the idle problems.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green_dragon Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 How much differencs does A/C make to fuel consumption?? Could it be a tight A/C pump or something?? Sorry if this is a stupid thing so say, just a thought Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I think aircon can make about a 10% difference so a little out of the range of halving my fuel efficiency. I'm hoping its something simple like it needing a service and an O2 sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
