craggsy 91 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 It could be a few things TBH. Really need to get it scanned if it has a com port installed Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Has it been remapped for the cams? If theres no issues with the car, that could explain the overfuelling Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 my last VR6 was lucky to see 20MPG, it was heavily modified.... had it in single figures sometimes...what is your MPG ? you can look on your MFA! Link to post Share on other sites
robo22sri 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 The MAF is reading low 20's But the car has got fault codes, I had tony check the timing as the car didnt feel right I need to get it code read again after a long driveWhat did you have done to your car Pete?

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 cams and a schrick low 20's ok i say! you need to identify the fault codes, blue temp sendor can cause it to overfuel if its duff for example... Schrick head, 2.9 low comp bottom end, schrick 268 cams, 3.68 final drive, bmc, stealth ramap, 6 branch, de-cat, miltek exhaust from memory. start at the basics I.E addressing fault codes and a good service if not done already...if your worried about MPG then i wouldnt modify it any more Link to post Share on other sites
