check all your fuel lines for leaks, inside the engine bay and also under the car.

If you have access to consult/datascan you could check for error codes, the main codes to watch for are coolant temp sender, detonation sensor circuit and o2's.

also do u thnk it could be cuz of the ecu i still got an auto ecu in it will dat amke any difference there are no fuel leaks i am sure about dat ill get dat other stuff u checked cheers

ven a faulty o2 sensor wont give that bad economy. either you have a fuel leak or your on the boost all the time

mines a s1 auto and i cant even get to 300k's on a full tank. rpm normally reved till 2k only..

Change to a manual ECU and reset it.

Try resetting the Auto ECU too.. Dont think it will do much though..

you've probably got an error code or a faulty/slow o2 sensor. you can test your o2 sensor using a multimeter or if you have access to consult/datascan then you can use your laptop.

ok im very new to these turbo thingies and o2 sensors. i was a vtec fanatic b4 this. nyways, where do i get one o those multimeter?

i done a auto to manual conversion and getting 400 to 430ks a tank (55l) 11.5 to 12.5 l/100 depending on how much freeway driving. did you change the instrumentation panel to manual one ? are you running a safc2 or aftermarket computer? im still running auto ecu since changing a couple of years ago

If you still have the Automatic instrument cluster it will only read about 50% of the actual K's you travel.
