2 things, redline and gas....
okay this has been discussed before but i can't seem to find the thread. so, what gas does this damn thing want? i've given it 93 and 89....and i just put 87 for the first time cause i'm going poor. and it's the same thing isn't it?
also, i still will never understand how my 92 dx 1.5L sohc, redlines at 7,200 rpm...what rpm does it really give out on givning power though? this is driving me nuts |
RE: 2 things, redline and gas....
Use whatever gas your owner's manual recommends, which I suspect is 87 octane. Anything else is just a waste of money and will not make your car run better.

This function is called "Fuel Cut-OFF Control" (see picture). http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/388...ure0073ow9.jpg |

RE: 2 things, redline and gas....
i figured, but quick question. why does the limiter go to 7,200 for? were they smoking or something?

RE: 2 things, redline and gas....
The limiter is intended to protect against blowing the engine. It doesn't correspond to the rpm for best performance.
Also high octane gas isn't inherently any "cleaner" than regular. It may have more additives in it if it is a name brand but that's a tiny difference. If you engine doesn't knock when you use regular, use regular. |
