what causes a car to run rich?

Re: what causes a car to run rich?

dont no y i am getting such bad gas milage compared to what i used to

make sure you're doing the right math :D

i usually reset my trip everytime after filling up at the pump (which is making my stomach turn over as of late)

# of miles on trip/amount of gas pumped into tank = MPG

this might have been unnecessary, but hey... you never know!

sticky this?

400 miles on a tank of gas would be 28 MPG given that there is about 2 gallons left in the tank. That sounds about right to me. He just doesnt hot dog it. I put 7 gallons in my car every time i fill up and I always get 180-190 miles and I always get on it. I always fillup at 1/4 a tank.

one in each exhaust manifold. the drivers side is pretty easy to get to, the passenger side is a fight. you'll have to do them from underneath the car. just look at the manifolds and you'll see them if you follow them down under the car. id assume theyre the factory ones so be prepared for them to be in there pretty good.

well idk if i found the right things but i found two things going into my exhaust pipe but they are both on top and look easy to get. they have a wire coming out out of them

also a bad thermostat could cause bad gas mileage
