fuel...

[07up]

hey guys...
i was reading around and i heard that most people get about 500 - 600km out of one tank before having to refill...
funnily enough...mine never gets anywhere near that...mine goes 400ish and sometimes less. petrol prices dont help either.
i was wondering what is wrong with my fto.

thanks in advance

o2 sensor most likely but other issues affect it too

servicing up to date?
Do you drive like you stole it? etc

[Bennoz]

Most common culprit is the 02 sensor... but it can be a range of things such as blocked cats, shot ECU water temp senders, clogged fuel filters etc can all ruin fuel economy.

Give us a brief service history of the car.

Do you drive like you stole it? etc

I like the 'etc'

As in, Grand Theft Auto, do you run over hookers? 'etc'

[07up]

well max i ever got out of it since i got it was 450km.

i got the car really cheap. 6k. no actual problems with the car. least not what ive noticed.

this is the actual problem ive only experience in the last 2 months.

umm sorry, but i dont know much about cars. but what exactly is the 02 sensor? cause i do notice a bit of rust on the exhaust pipe

[Gholdwayne]

O2 sensor, or Oxygen sensor aka Lambda sensor, its that little thing with a wire on the exhaust pipe before before the catalytic converter.

exactly but first you gotta shag em then run them over and take back your money (and anyone else that may have given them some)

Are you using 98 octane fuel?

[07up]

yes im using only 98...and once in a while...100...which this one petrol station offers. but i never even knew 100 existed lol

[Gholdwayne]

100 is japan's regular

[sublime19]

98 is fine for what they offer here, don't go out of your way to get 100, I never have.

Btw, your car gets used to the type of petrol you use. I always get more mileage out of BP Ultimate than others because that's what I've used from the start.

100ron Oh no don't tell me
Is the serevo ........ No I don't want to know runs off and hides.

I see bad things again

[zuihoujueding]

full city driving can get avg of low 400kms.

so dont worry too much.

our rides are not picky. feed it with 95 with occasional 98 and shes happy.

[Gholdwayne]

my last 2 tanks were filled with caltex and i seem to be getting better mileage
Probably better than the mobil, bp, & shell fuels that i've used...

[payaya]

I get around 900 kms city peak hour driving.

I get around 900 kms city peak hour driving.

In a Falcon, amirite?

I get around 900 kms city peak hour driving.

And then you wakeup

[payaya]

I get around 900 kms city peak hour driving.

Nah the Falcon gets more I think

[payaya]

And then you wakeup

Nah it's true! I get 900kms!! Why you guys aren't getting that? Think it's time for an engine swap maybe?

Also I have a stalling issue when I first start my car up in the morning?? It's driving me insane!! I have changed my fuel filter, tps, petrol pump, plugs, all relays, fuel filter, air filter, coils and more. What could be causing it? Does the FTO usually suffer from idle problems when cold???

Should I change my battery?
