Hey guys. I'm Ryan I am a professional mechanic and I own a 98 Yukon. I'm having insane fuel usage problems. Last year I was getting 9 mpg of 93 and today I ran out of gas with 145 miles on the trip odo. Calculated out to 6 mpg. I need some advice.
The truck is on 285s with a tuned hot computer from wait4me
Removed converters
Short tube headers
Flow master exhaust
K and n full intake
Bored maf
Built trans with stock stall.
E fans
186 t stat tuned for closed loop at 180
Throttle blade mod
All of these mods have been done long before the fuel usage problem started.
No check engine lights or pending codes. Compared maf and map and all other sensor readings to a know good running truck. You can smell the fuel from the pipes. I'm thinking poppets are not closing but is there any way to narrow it down to the injectors before throwing that 400$ at it? I can't stand 6mpg its killing me. That was in town empty.
Thanks in advance
