Horrible Gas Mileage
Wednesday, June 20, 2007 8:50 PM
After I installed a cold air intake ony my 2.2 Eco, it seems like my gas mileage got worse. Any ideas on how to improve it?

If you're getting on it more to hear the sound of it, that may be why. Driving habit usually does this.

Also, is your IAT sensor inside the tube or hanging out of it. If it's not inside the tube, it's picking up the engine bay temperature which is more than likely hotter than inside the tube incoming air. Higher temperatures = computer sending out signal to spray more fuel.

I can attest to that. I forgot to put the air temp sensor in my 01 cavy, and the milage got worse, but I got theright grommet and put it in the tube, plus removed the upper plenum, and it's back to 30 mpg!

and make sure the vacuum line to your FPR is plugged in, if its not it will act as if under WOT and increase rail pressure. check for line cracks or a connection not sealing while your there.

i'm willing to bet it a problem with your foot. its to heavy. i have the same problem, it tends to disappear after you fill up a few times.
