I was just wondering wat u all get on gas w teh ca20e motor cause my gas goes like crazy. Ant to top that off. Wat is that sensor thats on the bottom right side of the intake manifold. Because im missing it and i think thats why my car runs like shit in the morning and wont start right away
I could not tell you about the sensor ( it is dark right now so I can't check) but for mileage I get about 600km's (375 miles) or so. That is from full until the gas light comes on.
I get 500km for a full tank if i'm lucky. I need to change my fuel filter and also wanna change my temp and o2 sensor
Your gas milage will depend alot on the condition of the engine and the condition of your sensors.
A crapy engine (bad compression) with all new senors is still a crapy engine, and will produce poor results. The first thing you need to check is the compression of your engine. It should be around 170 psi for each cylinder with a deviation of about 10% (17 psi). Check that out first...then we can help you out with them damned electrical gremlins. :cheers:

Well you know wat i think i have a lot of gremlins:evil: They just keep comming up well i found out what the sensor was it was a collant temp sensor not the sensor that goes to the cluster but the one under it its on teh bottom of the intake manifold. I got a new TPS used Air regulaator and used coolant temp sensor i get new o2 sensors every month.
I have fixed all my my problems i think so i am really glad and happy that my car runs really good now besides teh very bad exaust leak.
Would that compromise my gas milage. Or how aboyut all the vacume lines i pulled off:guns:
My compression is good because i just rebuily my motor 3 months ago i mean i can check it really quick so.
But to say the least my car is running the best it ever has.
I want to thank everybody at this site helping me w my ca20e as u all know im in teh process og the ca20det so but all i knwo is that i will never get rid of this car all i knwo i might just buy another one.
CHEERS:cheers:
I got high-30s mpg ...
monthly o2 sensors? lol
was gonna say, isnt that just a tad expensive?!
