Foot out of it, about 11mpg or less, wtf.

I drive the car immediately after turning it on. I stay below 2500 RPM when I shift until it reaches operating temp.

check for ect codes. if there is one, that would explan the mpg. w/ a code, the ect will go into default shifting and will not lock the converter. w/o the converter locking, your mpg goes all to hell.

my convertor is bad per torquefreaks and im doing a 5spd swap soon(i keep saying this) so that may be the problem, but to check for ECT codes just take OD off and watch for it to blink?
-and by bad i mean they said it was slipping bad and robbing me power

-i let it warm up for a while becuase if i dont it will sputter, stall, and the tranny wont shift very well at all

Sounds like you need to do that 5spd swap asap.

5spd swap asap. Say that 3x fast.

89Turbo- The resistor for the egr valve temp sensor that I am using is a 12k resistor. It got rid of the code 71 I had when I bought the car (CEL also). Don't know if it will cause any problems down the road or with mods ( I am still stock) but it's been working for me. I believe JetJock would be the one to ask if you were worried about it.
