Quick recap.. Originally my moms 98 threw a P0171 code, system lean.. Had a crack on the manifold, replaced it.. Converter was jacked, replaced it.. Same thing. No vacuum leaks found, nothing anywhere, still using fuel like crazy. Took it to local Chrysler dealer and tried to do a complete PCM reset hoping it would relearn the fuel and maybe fix itself, no luck. Looked over everything again for 3 days, still nothing out of the norm.
After all this I figure I'd bite the bullet and take it back to the dealer and have them run a diagnostic test on it to see what they could find. They tell me its P0463 "Fuel sender volts high" and they want to drop the tank and charge me another 2-3 hours of labor just to try to find the issue. On top of that, he tells me that its really not using that much fuel, the computer just thinks it is.. really man? Throw $40 in this thing and watch it go back to empty in 30 miles and tell me its not using fuel.
I am puzzled, no idea where to go from here. I've been searching around trying to find an answer but I'm getting mixed results.. any ideas?l
