Re: [T3] Piss poor mileage


Well, since I didn't really know the entire workings of the FI system until
recently poring over Bentley, I neglected to realize the long one for the
pressure sensor (that mystery thing off to the side) was actually part of
the FI system.  I also checked to make sure all the other ones were on nice
and tight.  Either way, I'm getting very nice gas mileage.

However, I am still getting that horrible idling problem everybody gets.  I
pulled the idle adjustment screw--it was extremely black.  Took out the temp
sensor (low temp)--also nice 'n' black.  So, could this be a part of the
idling problem?
Thanks,   Steve
