Fuel issue with my vx
Hi all i recently lent my car to a so called mate. once we got it back we noticed that it was running like shit and had to replace a couple of spark plug leads. done that and then as the missus started driving it around she was complaining about it chewing fuel. I have noticed that on a 20(ish) km round trip it will chew a 1/4 of a tank with ease. going to check all the spark plugs change air filter and clean the afm is there anything else i should be doing like cleaning oxy sensors or doing a ecu reset
cheers joel
Perhaps someone has put shitty 91oct in the tank.
Add checking for vacuum leaks to your list. Guaranteed it was taken for a mang'in so it could've blown a hose off.

cashman_309 i did have to reattach a vacume line when i got it back. could the ecu have learnt from this and be the reason why its chewing the juice
I think with lack of air it throws in more fuel? or is it the other way around.. Which dash has yours got? run the maths on the fuel usage in terms of L per 100

Run your normal fuel. Reset the ecu. Never lend it out to that "mate" again. Go from there.
