Hi there I have an 02 ss and I'm having crappy fuel mileage right now like 13mpg and was wondering does anyone have a list of fuel system components and ways to check them on my own. I want my 22mpg back atleast if not better. I've already replaced the fuel pump so that's as far as I've gotten. Thank you

 

I cant really give you the exact answer you're looking for but I might be able to help you out. Start with a new air filter, fuel filter, and maybe try checking your gas cap, Ive heard of those going bad and stopping the fuel from flowing as well as its supposed to. IDK, just trying to give a little help.

 

Thanks but I got a major tune up about 6 mnths ago and got the air filter n fuel filter changed in the process n I had an emmission problem about a mnth ago n I did the gas cap 1st but it ended up being just a loose hose.. I'm stumped. I dropped my car off at a shop for diog so hopefully ill have a better answe tomorrow...thanks anyhow. Nice ride by the way

 

Well, whenever you do find out what it is, be sure to post and let everyone else know cause it could help by maybe preventing htis for somone else you know>

 

Ok guys I found out what the problem is...bank 1 02 sensor and throttle body plate needs to be cleaned...good news n pretty cheap

 

Great! Wonder why the hell nobody thought of the dam o2?

 

Is there anyway to clean the plate without taking it apart?

 

What do you mean by taking it apart??

It's really not hard to take the throttle body off the car and scrub it down / spray it up

 

Yeah my buddy jus imformed me all I gotta do is take off the air duct from the throttle body n its right there...correct? N is the bank 1 o2 sensor easy to replace ir do I gotta take stuff of to get to it?
