THE fuel consumption of my 1994 ED Falcon wagon is dreadful, rarely dropping below 24 litres/100km. Thinking there was a leak, my mechanic replaced the fuel hoses and pump, but this did nothing to fix the problem. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
YOU'RE right, it is dreadful. It's probably running overly rich because of a malfunction in the electronic system. But before you start digging, make sure all is well with the basic engine tune. If that is in order, start looking at the sensors that tell the engine's computer how much fuel it needs to feed in, particularly the oxygen sensors in the exhaust.
