Hey guys sorry I havent responded in a few days because ive been so busy. Anyway I go in tommorow to chysler for the o2, so they can scan the car and see if its bad, and in the meantime ive been keeping track of the mileage on paper like jet had suggested earlier. Another post that ive been meaning to write is about a knocking question. The car is having fuel issues which are most likely having something to do with the car's knock issues. Anyway for now im just going to try and check this post every day and reply with comments on everyones suggestions *time permitting*. Thanks again to everyone who is helping me out your suggestions are awesome!!





unreal808 - some of those ive tryed and some i havent. So I will try/check all of the things then get back to u. For now, I know for a fact that my K&N filter that came on the car needs replacing, but sheesh those things are expensive, so I might just buy a fram filter for cheaper for now. Anyone know where to get cheap K&N filters? or knock off equivalents? I ran a bottle of Sea Foam in the tank too to see if it would clean up some stuff but havent noticed to much.



94talonawd -
1.now that u say that i see that ur right the o2 sens wouldnt make that big of a diff. Now i want to check ALL sensors to see which one(s) need replacing, but how would i go about doing that? Datalogger? Scan my car (its a 91 so it has OBD1 tho)?

2.Now that u mention it about the scanning, also the car came with a wierd ass port i can plug some sort of machine into. I had LSE look at it and they didnt know off hand. Sometime i am going to make another post with pics of it and follow the lines to see where they go.

3.Yes my Exhaust manifold is cracked in the norm place for 1g but i didnt think that affected gas mileage? Or did u mean a crack in the intake manni?

4.Im gonna do a boost leak test and i already did a vacuum guage test at school in autos class, but it was my first time and from what i could see my engine scored pretty good as far as vac.

5. Ignition base timing im not familiar with, but will do my research on that.

6. Last time i checked the turbo (14b) was in excellent condition.

7.Emissions. Dont know much about it and was going to remove all teh crap (dsm free mods) that you dont need but i will look into it.

8.Wastegate. Thats a good idea and i will do that ASAP. Is there any way to grease it if its stuck or not sliding as well as it should be? Im not to familiar with wastegates and stuff im still learning haha.




Acidrumz - Im workin on the datalogger situation (see above response to 94talonAWD). Im not sure what fuel trims are, maybe u could explain a bit more. send me a pm or somethin doesnt matter. As far as the ecu dont know much about that either other that it IS an EPROM and the caps are good on it. o2 sens is bad supposedly (see above posts). Car is totally stock so i really dont have a way of tuning yet.




To everyone *updates/questions/comments*

*Timing should all be set perf because i just got it back from LSE and they timed it.

*Today My friend made a good comment about how my stock boost controller could be messed up and thats why I am knocking (it may be setting itself to like 20 psi or something that my stock car cant handle lol), but could that have anything to do with the fuel probs?

*All information yall have givin so far has helped so once again just want to thank you guys. Dont be afraid to PM me with specific info/comments/questions.

thanks again,
