1mile to a gallon

[MK3PIMP]

can any 1 tell me y i only get like 1-3 miles to a gallon will my tps make that happen i tried to search but couldnt find any anwers

 

[CTsupra]

Uhh, fuel leak? That's almost impossible.

 

[supraGhost]

hahaha. thats some expensive transportation.

 

[foreverpsycotic]

so you get between 18 and 54 miles to the tank?

 

[Keros]

If you're not leaving pools of fuel everywhere, you're running sadistically rich. Could be:

Fuel leak
Injectors completely fucked
Cold start injector (do we have one on the 7M?) may be stuck open
AFM is fucked
ECU not working right

My worst milage driving at WOT like a madman with 230rwhp for 2 hours for 300km, gave me 8MPG. If you're getting 1MPG, you have something seriously wrong in your fuel delivery system.

Is it dumping out black smoke like a deisel?

Holy crap stop driving that car!!! Can you smell gas? Have you checked to see how much gas is in the crankcase?

Yes, we have a cold start injector. Its located underneath the plenum in the middle. You should see a line connecting to it.

Have you learned anything since the last time you asked for help?

Have you checked for codes this time?

 

[jdub]

this is a real nice site never coming here again for help

Just to expand on the link Justin posted. We tried to help you last time, but you wanted us to "make things easy". Based on your statement above (from your last thread), you have some nerve.

 

[supramk3man]

If a car was running that rich would it just foul the plugs. If the injectors are staying open even when the car isn't running the plugs would be to wet to fire. Also wouldn't there be gas in the oil it was just flooding the pistons "wet washing"?

 

[MDCmotorsports]

BOOM! Headshot.

Can't really tell you what's wrong.. you kinda have to tell us what is happening first.


Unless a member can read your mind over the internet.

Exact same problem with the previous thread

lol.... i dont think its mechanically possible to get 1mpg.... really
an engine to ingest 1 gallon every mile is hard to believe.... unless someone popped a hole in his tank

 

[MK3PIMP]

i only got a code 51 the car drives good into i hit 4k than it cuts out i lose power and have to shift i see no gas leaks or smell gas i think its running real rich but i cant smell gas and no smoke at all it runs good but idle sucks because of tps

 

[gaboonviper85]

stop huffing your gas and it may last longer

Get help.. www.inhailentabuse.org

 

[GrimJack]

See that link in my sig? I require proof that you have read and understood it before I go out of my way to help anymore.

If you're really lucky, someone else just filled up on patience, and won't be so demanding.

Good day, sir.

you have to be leaking fuel at a rate of 1mpg. how can it be running good? if there was no leak you should theoretically be hitting fuel cut all the time.
unless you have an injector or two stuck wide open which could explain your idle problem and losing power after 4000 rpm.
get those checked out and clean at a reputable place
i just got mine done at RC. one of my injectors was off by 20cc's
good luck
