Hi everyone.
I've been noticing a huge decrease in fuel economy with my v6 explorer for about a month. I haven't done any changes except for changing the PCM and the fuel rail pressure sensor as well as the alternator.
But the vehicle is consuming wayy to much fuel considering that I drive it for a maximum of 20kms a day around town.
When everything was normal, the computer was reading an average of 14-16l/100kms. Now, the readings are between 26-30l/100kms (7-9mpg) Which is driving me crazy.
Any ideas of what might cause the problem? I was wondering if the fuel sensor i recently changed has something to do with it? Cause I bought one from ebay for 30 bucks and i thought it might not be working properly and i need to go to my local agency and get a new one.
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks in advance.
