Guzzling Gas
 
So .. now that the car is back together.. I am gettin the worse gas consumption...

I know it's not a Honda!! :laughhard (wouldn't want it to be!!)

But for a tank of gas, i'm only getting around 200k..

You can smell that it's really rich, I think one my my o2 sensors are gone, any other idea's? the check engine light is on.. just haven't looked into it.. any tips or somewhere I can get it looked at to figure out the code?

what did you have taken apart???

Have the car scanned...

i converted my car from auto to stick..

Different computer, but came from same year of a stock mustang.

the check engine light started to come on once in a while last year, so i don't think it has to do with changing the computer. I did bend one of the o2 sensors, that's what's leading me to them needing to be replaced.

do you guys know anyone locally that could do a computer read for me?

PartSource does it for free.

Yep, saw it on a sign out front. I have my own OBD-II scanner so I've never had to use them though.

Cool,
 
Ya I have a cavalier, '88 Z24, and I found out that I can just use a jumper wire to get the trouble codes off of the computer. anyone know of a way we can do this with '87-93 models, mine is an '87.

Thanks,
A50snake
