Fuel consumption up, I'm new.. Options

[redshift]

I am using around 20% more fuel than a nicely tuned version of the same rig.

I just changed out my TPS, and I calibrated with a digital (jeesu!) meter. Let me say that *isn't* the way to go, prolly.

Is there a possibility that the TPS is on the idle switch, but just (high) out enough to enrich the mixture that much?

I'm having a ball working on my own car, and I am getting better results than the local mechanics, I only have one kind of car to deal with, and I love that kind of car. I owe so much to the people who have BTDT.

Thanks, as always.

How many "miles" on the new engine? It will take a while until the engine is broken in and your fuel consumption normalizes.

Also, your right rear brake light is on, causing a drain on your electrical system, which is subsequently causing your alternator to work overtime, thus increasing load on the engine and increasing fuel consumption.

Maybe you're just getting fat and putting the engine under load. That... or you've been picking up some heavy Georgia girls at the oyster bar down by the waterfront!

Quit making those late night Krispy Kreme runs!!!!
