check the vac lines running to your MAP sensor. If there is a hole or one is not hooked up it will put you in a type of "safe mode" that just throws tons of gas into the mix. We used to use it for a bootleg flamethrower back in the day

We used to use it for a bootleg flamethrower back in the day I totally thought to write check your MAP sensor but I had one of those "nahh, they'll think I'm dumb" moments. Looks like it was a legit suggestion lol This post has been edited by HectortheRican: Oct 1, 2010 - 12:46 PM -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

We used to use it for a bootleg flamethrower back in the day would it like say safe mode anywhere or something like that? theres no leaks anywhere i know of. where would i be able to find those wires to check if they're damaged. sorry im kinda new to the gas system in cars. thanks for helping by the way. |

I have a gutted cat and it is definitly not on E after even multiple hours of getting on it. In fact, it really doesn't do that much to my mileage at all. I'm pretty sure OP has a more severe problem then gutted cat. This post has been edited by mak5603: Oct 14, 2010 - 4:09 PM -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1

When you're on a hill or taking sharp turns the gas level changes were the floaty is. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq

My Corolla is pretty bad with gas readings. It fluctuates +- a quarter tank on a given trip.

Have you actually calculated your gas mileage? That would be more helpful than just that 'it goes to E fast'

Zero odometer 3. Drive around 4. Fill tank again 5. Divide odometer reading by amount of gas put in at the pump 6. ??? 7. Profit!

yeah, just bc the gauge says E doesnt mean that its actually empty... my dad has a truck that always reads at about 2/3 of a tank and the odometer doesnt work so he just puts gas in it every couple of days... i would guess u more than likely have a faulty guage

When you fill up your tank, how many gallons do you end up putting in on average?
