Winter Fuel Mileage, Injector Cleaning 850

posted by  someone claiming to be gwen on  Thu Jan 22 03:41 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Hi All:

Just reading about mileage decreasing in the winter....I recently had the new junkyard motor put in the car and after 2,000 miles it didn't burn a drop of oil, so I'm happy.....but the car only gets 25 miles per gallon. I was thinking that after driving the car with a cracked ring for a month and getting oil on the oxygen sensor and having 507,000 miles on the injectors, I would replace them both. So I have purchased a new fuel rail on ebay and was thinking of having them rebuilt before intalling them. See the following site.....

Anyone ever have this done? Did your car run better?

Still working on the trip computer...I purchased an ambient temp. sensor on Ebay and waiting for it to arive. I always wondered what that plug was hanging by the front bumper.....
