Hi! I've a little problem with my AE86 lately. It consumes a HUGE amount of gasoline, although it does not smoke black. I peeked under the car, but didnt see anything leaky-like. What my problem could be?

Anything changed to the engine lately? And does it feel like it lacks power?

Perhaps the engine thinks it is too cold and keeps injecting extra fuel with the cold start injector. Try to smell the exhaust fumes: if it runs too rich you should be able to smell that. Wink

Nah, my tank is not rotten, or not at the bottom parts...and im talking about like 30-40L/100km...something is really wrong...car doesnt feel like running bad. I checked the faulty codoes, and it doesnt say the temp sensor, but maybe I'll change the cold start injector and the injectors too...

Cold start injector only squirts during cranking, and doesn't squirt at all
if the engine is at normal operating temperature. It is not ECU controlled,
and changing the temperature sensor will not affect the cold start injector.

I think you should check that no-one is syphoning your tank !!!!

Try to stick a hair on the fuelcap with some spit: if someone steals your gas you should see that the hair is gone. Wink
