Schtuv Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 ive had my supe a fortnight now and am also shocked at the poor economy... got 240km to the last tank... someone also said to me to try the o2 sensors. Yipes - I get over 400km to a tank, even with my lead foot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Taking the o2 sensors out in about 5minutes to dowse tonight in lemon juice. Wish me luck....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I think that may help you for a little while i.e a day but yours is so low i think they have gone mate, (Lemon juice recovered mine) I hear there is a good tublar manifold for sale that you could get shipped with some 02 Sensors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 taken the intake and heat shield off and noticed that one of the sensors wasn't connected, that must have been the reason why then! The guy who had it before must have forgotten to reconnect. Got them out now to give them a soak anyway.. Thanks carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 In the N/A I always thought the O2 sensors were both on the manifold viewable from the top, and the one after the cat was a Cat temp sensor..? correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Fitting new O2 sensors may seem expensive (especially on an NA which needs 2), but they will pay for themselves in fuel savings very quickly. They will also make your car feel smoother and should give you a bit of extra power, as you won't be running so rich. that manilfold is defo my next mod nic:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
