I've been clocking about 10mpg driving around town since recently getting my ride on the road again. Some horrendous traffic mind but still no excuse for such poor fuel consumption.
I'm happy that the car's mechanically sound since testing the newly installed engine and had planned to optimise the brakes and suspension next followed lastly by cosmetics.
I now find myself having to address this fuel consumption as a matter of urgency so it's at the top of my list.
What type of garage, performing what kind of service do you suggest I go to.
There are a ton of small garages I could go to but they tend to specialise in car repairs rather than being able to perform engine checks and tuning.
One other thing which (at a guess) is a major factor in all this is that my o2/lambda sensors were cut away shortly after leaving the cats by whom ever did the conversion I assume. After spending much time finding out where they need to go to I've realised that whereas the original m42 engine will have had only needed one therefore 1 pin on the ecu end whereas the m60 has 2 and therefore 2 pins. This raises an interesting question (to me anyways).
Do any of you with the m60 conversion have your o2's connected and working and if so how have you wired them up?
Thanks in advance.
