36483, Too much fuel consumption
Posted by Jasvb TS2K2, Dec-27-02 07:18 AM
I'm only getting about 200 miles to a full tank. :o . I got a O2 CEL code but was wondering if perhaps something else could cause me to be wasting so much fuel?

nope, its the o2 sensor. I got 225 miles to a tank last week and my o2 sensor was out. just replaced it today so i'm assuming i'll be getting better gas milleage.

Yeah thats really low milage. Replace your front o2 sensor. I get over 320 miles to a tank - with the 60mm Jeep TB.

I've got terrible gas mileage I get about 190 ish on a full tank. I boost at 8lbs daily at times I'll just go to 5lbs. I still have an exhaust leak at the downpipe I've been lookng for a replacement downpipe for the Hahns kit but I can't find one anywhere looked on RRE's web site I found the downpipes I just don't know which would work. I also have oil coming out of my breather. I guess my o2 sensor would be the cause of the low gas mileage. Where do I get a new sensor?

Your local parts store will have the o2 sensor.. Look at spending around $100 for it.

When I changed mine, AutoZone didn't have a different part number for the Turbo and Non-Turbo models, I ended up having him look up the 4cyl Avenger.... Just a heads up incase. you need the circular connection, the 4g63 is a square connection.

call bob kise at forum dodge and get the mopar one, the Bosch universal ones SUCK, I mean they go bad after 3 months due to poor design and getting clogged with carbon buildup etc..

He gives us great discounts on OEM parts.
