74394, Need Help Doing A Tune Up
Posted by EclipseTenzoR, May-12-04 12:36 PM
I am getting really shitty gas mileage so I figure its time for a tune up. I replaced My Air Filter because it was simple enough for me to do, and I also changed my oil. I was curious on what other things I should get done that will make a considerable difference in my gas mileage. Keep in mind that rite now I am lucky if I can get 200 miles per tank.

spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel filter, and front o2 sensor..and sometimes the pcv valve if needed.

well said ^. you can also clean the egr crap as well as the intake manifold (possibly some STP fuel system cleaner).

get ur injectors proffesionally cleaned IMO. $100 well spent. I used to get 200-250 miles. now I'm at lke 400 after a good injector clean.
