So I received bought a 95 4.5L and it had the typical mpg, this thing drank gas. Anyways I go to get it smogged and it passes everything but the egr test. Smog guy said it wasn’t holding vacuum, so I replace it and it failed again. He was a bro and passed it, but said to comeback when I fix it to check. Got a vacuum pump and found it was the egr modulator valve. Didn’t replace it yet…
Anyways wife wants to got into the mountains to camp, so I the 31s with the 33s off of the taco and hit the road. On the way to the mountains we got typical mpg. On the way back it seemed like the gauge was broken. Got home with half a tank. About 150miles…
A week goes by and the wife hits 100miles and the gauge barely moves. So I test it by filling to the 3/4 line and drive to the ¼ (I have obd1 so I don’t have a reader). Any was I get 253 miles off half a tank, that’s 20 mpg??? What the hell is happening?!
