26 POOR FUEL ECONOMY
DESCRIP-
l Fuel economy unsatisfactory TION
[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]
While fuel consumption is drastically increased by city driving, short-run operation, stop and go driving, extended winter
warm-up periods, etc., as opposed to “trip” mileage, an attempt should be made to determine these factors when con-
fronted with “poor mileage” conditions. However, since the operator is not always at fault, the following is offered.
@II Operator depressing accelerator more than usual due to
@ Air/Fuel mixture too rich
low engine power
l Poor ignition *High fuel line pressure
@ Alcohol blended fuel used
*Low intake air amount
l Electronic spark advance control system malfunction @ High vehicle load l Low tire pressure
*Clutch slipping/ATX slipping l Incorrect tire size l Exhaust component restricted l Brake dragging ;TEP

BASIC INSPECTION
Engine Oil
1. Remove the engine oil level gauge and check the engine
oil level and oil condition.
2. Add or change the oil as necessary.
Coolant
Warning
l Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
hot.
l Wrap a thick cloth around the cap before carefully
removing it.
1. Remove the coolant level gauge from the coolant reservoir.
2. Check that the coolant level is between the L and F marks
of the gauge.
3. Add coolant if necessary.
Battery
1. Check for corrosion on the terminals and for loose cable
connections. If necessary, clean the clamps and tighten
them firmly.
2. Check that the electrolyte level is between the UPPER LEV-
EL and LOWER LEVEL marks.
3. Add distilled water if necessary.
4. Check the specific gravity with a hydrometer.
Gravity: 1.27-l .29 (at 20% [68OF] )
