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
