psylosyfer Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 curious if anyone could shed some light. on my 144 mile drive today i got 23.6 mpg. not even a week ago i did new plugs wires cap rotor all filters oil change. i have a ea82 spfi with a dr 5 spd. is this the average mpg or is there something else i could be missing? thanks in advance for any help Didn't by chance retard the timing when replacing the cap/wires? Or knock off a vacuum line? The performance should be degraded if so, Also mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psylosyfer Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 If you turned the distributer when you replaced the cap, If you can turn it by hand without loosening the hold down screws you may have. To check it you'll need to get ahold of a timing light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
