Fuel economy problem

[Frykus]

My FTO made just around 250km on full tank...
and it was BP ultimate 97
any sugestion??
my first thik is calipers!!

[MY-JAP-MISTRESS]

did the car feel any slower? it could be the alinement. or when was it last serviced?

[Frykus]

don't really know when..
I can say it's before serwice but must wait till next month, cause I spend all money for FTO..
Any sugestion what I can change first (maybe before pay day next month) to bit down fuel combustion ??
And Yes, sometimes I having feeling FTO is slowing down themself, and then I need press accelerator harder..
I think it could be calipes, cause rears doesn't work. But mayby something else...

How fast are you driving - and are you hooning it around braking/accelating loads?
It is possible to go through a tank that fast..

[Frykus]

Let say I don't drivig over 5rpm, usually I'm driving in city so its up to 4rpm...
And to be honest I crossed over 7rpm maybe twice

[Muad_dib77]

Hmm..

Does the car leak at all?

[Frykus]

No leak!!
And is one more thing, before I bought that FTO, it was'n use for a long time. From last MOT it made just little over 1000km.
Don't know history of that car, but I took the risk, because I love japanese coupe from nineties..

personally id start by double checking the fuel lines, paying extra attention around joins and filters.

further to this id do a full service, and check all gaskets/seals.

also check the state of your exhaust.

all these things influence.efficiency.

My car was running very rich, replaced lambda, cat and coolant temp sensor and that sorted it out. Check your emissions first obviously.

[Frykus]

Do You know how much for lambda and temp sensor ?? And which ones can You recommend for my GR ??

probably get it cheaper somewhere else

ebay do universal ones but not too sure on the feedback on them.

[MY-JAP-MISTRESS]

could be a hole in the exhaust or a gasket away

[optical illusion]

Universal lambda from ebay fine and CTS cheap from camskill. Don't bother buying until you check your emissions first though. Also as said above check exhaust for holes. If it's original it more than likely has holes.
