Why is my fuel economy so bad?
I have a 2000 ford falcon forte petrol engine, and it's fuel is still terrible, I've had a fuel service done, a fuel treatment done, even an transmission service done. The transmission service did a hell of a difference, but it's still not fixed. The diagnostic scan came up empty, ruling out any electrical problem. What can it be?
Could be many things check your brakes
Sorry I can't really help you with your question but I just wanted to comment on what Allan said.
The falcon engine does NOT fire on two cylinders at the same time. The firing order is 1,5,3,2,6,4.
My 1996 Falcon was running very rough and drinking fuel until I replaced the spark plugs and plug leads. The six-cylinder engine fires the spark plugs on two cylinders at a time. The cylinder on the exhaust stroke being unaffected by this. If one plug or lead is faulty, it takes out two cylinders and wastes fuel.
Exhaust restriction, incorrect temps, computer does not want to say it is bad! How is your power!
Tyres, transmission… Its a straight six and old not going to be ecomomical
- Trump needs to get impeached now. He's an idiot and he is bad for the economy? No jobs will be created. Ford already said they will go back to making their cars in Mexico. Trump can't impose a tax because it would be against the WTO. See? Trump is stupid, it is because he is too old, he's 70, he needs to go to his retirement home, just look at what happened on saturday, he thought there had been a terrorist attack in sweden when no such thing happened. This is a symptom of dementia, old people start forgetting things and imagining others
- Will a new exhaust actually increase horsepower and fuel economy in my 2001 ford ranger 4.0? I'm looking at the flowmaster 40 series duel exhaust here: http://www.truckexhaustkits.com/ranger-96-04-dual-exhaust-2-25-ma-pipe-flowmaster-40/
- Bad fuel pump or bad Mass Airflow sensor? My truck us having very hard time starting up. It cranks over, putters and shakes really bad then dies. Once it finally becomes drivable, it almost stalls when accelerating from a stop or turning right Could this be a bad fuel pump, bad MAF, or another failing part? Truck is a 2006 ford ranger
- 2016 ford 5.0 GT Mustang fuel economy? I already drive a mustang and probably get about a weeks worth of gas before I fill up or less. Holds about 14.3 gallons to 15. The question is i'm getting a 2016 GT 5.0 manual Mustang and want to know if it will be worse or about the same, or better?
