If you have the external fuel pump, and I'm not 100% sure on that year,
Poor fuel economy? By this time, the engine temperature sensor was built directly into the right side cylinder head. The sensor was housed in a poor, plastic housing which heated-hardened-fatigued. If it is cracked the sensor doesn't transmit heat appropriately and fools the ECU into always thinking you have a cold engine. Hence over-rich and poor consumption. There is a retrofit brass housing to re-secure the temp sensor and correct the issue. Perhaps someone can point you to an old discussion thread on this issue.Patrick HayesFremont CA
Do you know of a source for the brass housing? I haven’t been able to find one online. I will say though that the plugs seem to indicate lean running rather than rich... might it be lean at some points in the mapping and rich at others?
I asked about a noisey fuel pump.If the filter plugs off with rust the fuel pressure goes from 40 to 70 PSI the ECU cannot compensate for this so the result is more gas or at least until it plugs off all together, I had this occur to an EV I rode back from Denver to Vancouver.When I picked it up from the previous owner I noticed the racket the pump was making but I had no reference, later in the trip I back flushed half a cup of rust out of the filter and it never looked back.Patrick made me aware of the blocked drain issue that causes the tank to rust.
