Sorry I know the topic is beat to death but i just figure that i shouldnt have to go through two tanks of gas for the trip and its really hard on my wallet about 100 bones each way isnt easy for a student.
The rig:
89 4.0
5 speed
31's
3 inch lift
no armor
160k compression good
3.07 gears
running about 1900 rpm at 65mph
new map sensor
Minor crack in exhaust mani
new 02 sensor
The temp doesnt get ever get close to 210 changed the thermostat with i believe 195 a year ago. temp gets tot he line between 210 and 0 and stays there.
aem dry flow intake
the exhaust has been changed since but not sure how long ago
new wires dist cap and rotor and plugs(going to clean them tmrw as it used to run rich)
runs good nice power nice steady idle(900 a little high i think)
Egr non functional
no intake manifold vacuum leaks(no leaks that i can find)
breaks not dragging as far as i know
needs an alignment
tires at 32 psi
so it takes me 32 gallons to go 500 miles(not on odometer but googled map directions) so about 15mpg figured with the 5speed and low rpms i should be doing a bit better.
i also travel through the adirondaks and i am in between 5 and 4th gear because of the steep inclines. prob not helping the average.
sry again to do this to everyone. just wanted to see if my situation stood out at all
i think apart of my jeep bug is making everything work to the best of its ability
