ok i gotta BIG problem i started to get 7mpg last monday
before i started getting this shotty milage i replaced my pcv valve, fuel filter, oil and filter and sea fomed the thing

yet im getting only 80miles for a half of a tank.......

i hooked it up to the modis and it was throwing P0174 and P0171 which is bank1 and 2 systems are running too lean. i also am seeing that the data stream is showing no activity coming from my bank 2 O2sencer

which is odd b/c i replaced that same sencer not but 5000 miles ago....

any one have any idea whats up?

Thanks

liar

 

what? Why did you just call yourself a liar?

 

lmao wtf

 

haha thats exactly what i was thinking

 

oh man haha

 

POWED

 

maybe your other personality has been using your gas without telling you

 

fin kids gettin on the computer and posting **** and its pissin me off

 

Liar!! Log off when you go away or lock your pc when you go away.

 

haha.

 

LOL THAT SUCKS

 

The sensor should have at least a one year warranty on it. I'd see about taking it back. Sometimes you just get a bad part.

The things you mentioned doing should not have caused the fuel economy to drop at all.

 

lol. How's your tranny? My truck didn't throw those codes, but I was getting the same ****ty mileage. Since you have access to a MODIS, I assume you have access to tests and procedures for your truck. Try doing the Stall Speed Test. Something in your transmission could be ****ed.

 

Wow. lol The PO 171 code is for the little elbow that gets cracked causing a vaccuum leak, which can result in bad gas mileage. But as for 8 mpg... mine doesnt do much better. lol

 

Did you clean / change the plugs after the seafoam ?

 

how are you computing the 7mpg?

 

7MPG.......Hell, that's worse mileage then a 70 Chevelle with a 454. They got 8....LOL


BTW, this is too funny:

 

oh yeah...forgot to comment....

this thread is all over the place. what a riot. lol.

 

both those codes came up on mine and i cleaned my mass, no code and better mileage

 

if that 02 senser is bosh brand then yes its prob a dud i went through 4 of em before i got a good one

 

check your muffler bearings.....make sure they're all lubed up so the air flows more freely

 

bump

 

Alright. You said you SeaFoamed it.... Did you change your plugs? If you have recently they probably got all fouled up from carbon composites. Try running some injector cleaner in your gas. Another possibility is that your crank case vent may be plugged. Thats the first tube on your intake. Its got some green tabs on it. One more possibility is that your MAF sensor is all gunked up. Try brake cleaner or some MAF cleaner from an autoparts store. If all that fails, its probably that second O2 Sensor.

 

thanks ill do that and yeah i havent replaced my plugs
and the o2 has a data stream of 0... so i think its that as well
but ill just do all that and try to get my peak back
