Re: fuel consumption



A new tune came out sometine in late July or early August. You should check if
that's the one you got. Fuel consumption is down but carbon build-up on mine has
been minimal.

Has anyone noticed after fitting the tune for Sports exhaust (steel) - loaded
July 1999 - and the Sports pipe that their fuel consumption has declined quite a
bit, and that their exhaust is now covered in black carbon?  I am pretty sure
the EFI is running too rich, but overall it seems to run more or less ok -
sometimes it idles too low (900rpm) and the oil light comes on.
I guess I should just take it to the dealer to check out?
I know they dont have a CO meter, so that was not adjusted.  If they have to
guess, and this is the problem - should they adjust it to a lower % or a higher
one to get a leaner mix?

thanks
Jonathan
