Lately, I have noticed a NICE drop in my gas milage. I am getting roughly 100 miles in a 1/2 tank full. NOT like it used to be, I was able to go atleast 150-170 per tank. If I somewhat get on it, I can actually watch the needle move down. I am running 87 and will try 89 and 93 on the next tank to see if that does anything.
Also, I have a piston rod ticking noise that I have noticed as well lately. If I lean down, right under the front of the oil pan, I can hear a tick-tick-tick, in no consistant order. I am not real worried about this as I have heard other I6s make different noises.
I am worried at only 83k on my 91 why its not decent gas milage and the wierd noises that I hear.
I am developing a small crack in my exhaust header, the cat needs replacement, and the muffler is not in the best shape. All this is soon to be replaced, but these items have been like that, the notice in milage drop just occured about a week ago.
Please let me know, I REALLY want this motor to last a LONG time.
Thanks.
