Ok I am wondering how many miles I should get on a full tank of gas I switched the engine with an exact copy (1.6 Vtec) due to a cracked block. The thing is I fill up my tank which takes a little over 7 Gal to fill its a small tank. I have seen my needle on Empty around 160 miles when with my old engine got at least 240. Any idea of the problem?

 

160 divided by 7?? thats ur MPG, im to lazy to open up the calculator cause i worked all day.. if its under 30, then do a fulll tune up

plugs, wires, cap, rotor, spark plugs(check gap on new ones), fuel filter, trans fluid, pcv valve

(thanks to 94chb for the above list of parts needed)

 

Check the spark timing too, after replacing the engine you must adjust it. Wrong spark timing will decrease your mpg.

Tank should take 9 or 10 gallons for typical re-fill, I think total capacity from absolutely empty is 12 gallons.

 

Thanks and I know it doesnt take more than 8 unless it has a lot of driving miles left when it his E and takes 7.5 gallons to fill but yeah ill make sure to take a look and change some things

 

yeah only 22 miles so ill go get supplies to do my tune up

 

yeah definatly, let us know how it works out

 

alright thanks for helpin me out
