2.2 N/T: Fuel economy is getting worse

Post by ericem »

Hey, well i changed my pcv(non oem) knock sensor, use a TINY bit of throttle body cleaner to clean the MAF, and cleaned the throttle body, use some fuel injection cleaner. And i went from 380KM a tank rougly to 280-300 after doing all this I am going to get some new plugs from my dealer(1.50 each) and get a oem airfilter, and PCV valve. I will also get some MAF cleaner and spray the sensor very good. Anything else i should look at that is common? Thanks.

Also the car has some hesistation on take off, i think its my CV.
