ok, ive made threads about this before, and i havent really found anyone with the same problem via search so i figured id post and see if anyone had any advice...
Ok well i had my MAF sensor replaced after i bought the car due to it was throwing check engine lights(was gettin 30mpg or more with CEL) Replaced it with one from autozone. Cel gone, but MPG dropped to 18.6 mpg and i was throwing a tremendous ammount of white smoke out of the exhaust. So i replaced the MAF sensor again the other day, and i go up to 30 mpg again! And no more extreme white smoke from exhaust upon startup and drivin for the first few min. Now heres where it gets tricky. When i got the car, the over drive cable in the shifter was cut. So after replacing my MAF sensor, and gettin the 30mpg, i soldered the cut in the cable back together. Over drive works, i can feel it kick in when i press the button, and disengage when i turn it off.... But im back to 18.6 mpg even with it on! Not throwing any Cel lights, white smoke still gone, but ****ty gas milage is back in town... And its frustratin the hell out of me! Anyone have ANY idea's of what it could be? I could prolly cut the OD cable again, reset the ecu by unpluggin the battery, but i want to have my OD workin ya know? AHHHHHH this is drivin me nuts....
But on a lighter note, i put my roushe spoiler on today :) and i should be puttin the rest of the kit within the next few weeks most likely...
