Crappy fuel mileage,surging and lag 700 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be JSK on  Wed Jan 17 16:51 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi,

My Turbo Intercooler has recently gotten 17 mpg which is really bad compared to the already bad 20mpg. I usually use 92 octane chevron gas, or 94 octane. Up hills mostly, if I really put the pedal down, I feel a bit of surging, or like the engine is faultering. When it's cold and I step on the gas, most noticeably after a corner, the car drones and takes a while to accelerate. It's got a new Air Mass Meter, new CIS/IAC motor, new turbo downpipe, new radiator, new thermostat, new fuel regulator. What more could need replacing!? I unplugged the O2 sensor sender and it seems to idle a bit more smoothly, but otherwise no big improvements.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
