Dont shift at 7000 rpms and ill bet you'll get better gas mileage.

I'm getting crappy gas mileage also. Its an 92 auto and gets 10-12 mi. per gallon. No gas leaks. I don't ever drive it hard, i just got got it a couple months ago and haven't even put 1000 on it yet. Nick

Get an Apex AFC to control the MPG.

If you're getting lower than normal gas mileage, could be a any number of things including:

- agressive driving style- shifting at higher than necessary rpm- city driving- quick hops (very short trips that do not allow car to warm up)- fuel leak- underinflated tires- bad 02 sensor- worn out Charcoal filter element- needing a tune up

I get in the mid 20's with a mix of city/hiwy driving in my S-13. I've gotten close to 30 on long trips (if I keep the speed reasonable), and I've gotten 6 mpg at the track.

hey n00b240...

"check o2 sensor, mite need replacing, check MAF too"

how would you check the o2 and the MAF ?

Post by **n00b240** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 11:03 am

assuming like your name that you drive an s13.

1 - Turn on ignition switch (do not start engine).2 - Turn diagnostic mode selector on ECU fully clockwise.3 - Wait a few seconds.4 - Turn diagnostic mode selector fully counterclockwise.5 - You are now in MODE-II.6 - Start engine and let fully warm up (temperature up to normal).7 - Run engine at 2000 RPM or higher for about two minutes under no load8 - Check that the inspection lamp (red LED) on the ECU goes on and off more than 5 times during 10 seconds at 2000 RPM.

If not new sensor needed

if its the MAF it is usually a grounding problem. Wiggle the MAF connector when the car's running, and you'll either duplicate or eliminate the problem. If not

Car off, battery disconnected (safety overkill, but why not?), disconnect the MAF connector. If you like, lightly scrape the surfaces of the contacts, plug it all back up, and it'll probably run fine for a while. If the problem returns quickly, the replacement MAF connector has an external pigtail ground. Or so I'm told. My friend cleaned his maybe 4 months ago, and has been rock steady ever since.

I hope i gave you the correct information, If not let me know and I will be glad to help you out. I dont like s13s tho:puke heh, but its all good. s14 is where its at:ylsuper

haha oh shat !! sorry man, the numbered part is for the o2 sensor check, second part is for the MAF. Maybe life is easy when you take it to get an emissions test. They can tell you which one is wrong. I hope that helps man, just post back if not. Oh i prolly explain it bad, check the manual where the ECU and all is at
