hey guys c:
my car is a 1995 vs berlina with a vt engine. I'd been noticing my fuel economy get worse and worse for a little while now. lately it has been really bad. a tank of fuel would be lucky to last me a week with light driving to work and back and the occasional other trip. a large amount of soot comes out of my exhaust. when I stop the car after driving around it sometimes shudders as if it's not getting enough revs. the engine still runs really well and gives a fair amount of power, however I think it isn't producing quite as much power as it used to and it can be a little sluggish at times. it also tends to miss when it's cold. it makes a sort of hissing noise but it isn't always noticeable. I've replaced the O2 sensors and re wired the earth but this hasn't changed anything except that now the t2 diagnostic machine thing gives the correct reading of both banks running rich. I'm a bit pressed for money atm and I need to get this sorted. could this be maf sensor issues? or maybe something to do with the injectors? any help is much appreciated =) I really want to get my baby healthy again!
