1989 Dodge Daytona Repair Question
Mileage: No information provided.
My car consumes much fuel
Answer
Probable causes of an engine running rich are as follows:
1.Excessive fuel pressure can be cause by restricted fuel return line
2.Defective Oxygen Sensors.
3.Leaking injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
4.Coolant temperature sensor out of calibration.
5.Restricted air intake system.
I check the pressure of the fuel pump in the rail and this is 55 psi ( this is correct), I revised the fuel return line and this is NOT restricted. the fuel returns normally. I changed the oxygen sensor with a new one, believing that this was the problem, but with the previous one, also consumed fuel. I change the fuel pressure regulator by one new. I have been tested to the injectors and they have the correct injection level. here, There are two reasons I do not understand. I change the coolant temperature sensor by one new. HOW can be the coolant temperature sensor out of calibration? I not understand this part....and How can be Restricted air intake system? I have that revised all the vacuum hoses? please, thank you by you reply...
