Fuel guage/fuel consumption
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2006 4:10 pm
I've just bought a 1993 RRC, 3.9V8, ZF auto.
I'm getting about 22l/100km out of it at the moment. Not real good, but better than when it had no vacuum advance and a 'stuck open' thermostat.
I've put a new 82deg thermostat in and replaced the dissy with a bosch scorcher which gives out a very healthy spark. Timing is about 5deg.
I think its still running rich. What to change next, the temp sensor?
Also, the fuel guage doesn't seem to correlate too well with the actual consumption. Its all over the place.
Also, this model has the filler right at the top of the guard and doesn't seem to want to fill the tank very easily. Is this normal for this model.
