Yeah, overthinking is my thing. It's what I do.

Update: Discovered I have a SIGNIFICANT fuel leak today at one of the injectors! Stuck my head into the engine compartment and discovered this while the car was idling right after I had started it up. This is obviously why my consumption is so high, but strangely, after I had warmed up the car on a 12 minute drive, it wasn't leaking anymore. Hmmm. Any ideas why this could be the case?
More idling issue description: it idled today at 1000 after starting up, quite steady...just a wee bit rough. After it was warm...1400...pegged. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Hoping for some insight! Thanks! Mike |

Yah, a massive fuel leak might be a problem.

I had a massive fuel leak in 1977. Was driving in the south Bronx, NY. Lost 8 gallons of gas in 6 blocks. I could see the line of gas in my rear view mirror. Barely made it back to my Dads shop, top speed about 20mph. If I didn't make it back to his shop the car would have been stripped in a matter of minutes, and I probably would not have it today. Leak was due to a completely deteriorated fuel line at the injector. Pre-recall for the battery cover and improved lines.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) OK, THAT sounds like a massive fuel leak alright. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Maybe then mine's not "massiv". Let's say, substantial. Any ideas why it stopped after the car was warm? M.i.M. |

Hi Marcus, sorry, I didn't realize I was kinda hijacking your thread. I'll start a new one, when I get home later.
