car has used a ton of fuel ever since i have owned it. tried everything including clean acc valve, clean afm, change o2 sensor and even driving like a grandma which is no fun.

recently my car had a engine problem and seemed like it ws loseing water so i droped it into ice to let them have a look. engine problem was 2 dead coil packs and water was cos i had no coolant left and the water was boiling away.

while the car was there they notice that my stock bov had a leak in the hose so the fixed that up and added all new spark plugs.

OMG i think the bov leak was the culprit. i used to get like 280-300 k's to a tank driving like a grandma and it always ued to idle at like 1200rpm. now im getting 400k's to a tank and a 800-1000rmp idle.

if you are suffering from poor fueld consuption i recomend you look at your bov and the piping connected to it cos this litle fix is going to save me like $20 a week in fuel.

woo

that is all

I had an atmo bov when I got my car, and it sucked just as badly as it does now, with a factory BOV. No leaks, coils are changed (which fixed my missfire), new iridium plugs, afm cleaned etc etc etc....

No joy so far for me! =-[
