Just an update on my old RENIX:
Car has been using lots of fuel ever since I got it. Barely making 10 miles/gallon (city driving that is).. After extensive troubleshooting+replacing all sensors+inspecting cylinders and replacing piston rings, my wits were at an end... Even the spark plugs had a nice tan hue, indicating a healty mixture ration... What was I to do???
As a last resort, I though I might try to swap my fuel injectors for more modern Ford 19# yellow-tops, but did not dare to hope for any significant improvement... boy, was I in for a surprise...
My mpg instantly leapt from a lousy 10 (city) to about 16-17!!!!!! Just by replacing my old injectors, which had shown no symptoms of malfunction... I'm VERY happy with this, as I'm running 5" lift, 32"x11,5" tires, and stock axle ratios...
Beside the good milage I really can't tell much difference from the old injectors. Just that I don't have to push the accelerator as far in as before, and perhaps a somewhat smoother running operation...
And the best thing. I found the Ford injectors (8pcs) on e-bay for about 50$... new and with o-rings included...
Rejoyce! recjoyce! it's a new era! party1:
