i get 100km with 25liters of gas
can some people here tell me a few thing i like what part 2 change so i can save $$$$$$ some peop;e told me i should get 100km with 14 to 15 liters
i didnt do tune up yet but ill reather do all my repairs at one time so i have less down time it a work van
i get the same mpg as it load or not and i got new wheels
and when i floor it doesnt go it revs but goes really slow but when i give it half on the pedle it moves out good so new trany or rebuild
so tell me every thing u know
and the only mods i have done it lift the back end with larger leaf spring and 2 battery 2 power the stero and ac to dc converter
also any one here has put the front of there van on bags need some info and so i can have it level right now it like the old school car with the back end in the air and the front on the road

Doing all of the repairs at the same time will make it hard to diagnose what the actual problem is. If you know it needs a tune-up, do that first and go from there.

I used this tool to convert to MPG/US.

That is 9.4 MPG to us here in the states and not good at all. My 90 day average with Grumpy is almost double that.


A good tuneup might help and is never a bad idea, but your comment about flooring it vs half pedal does make it sound like you are losing power somewhere in the trans. Does the high rev / no go only happen from a stand still or does it happen when you floor it at speed too? When was the last time the trans had its fluids/filter done?

What conditions do you mostly drive in? Hills, traffic, hi-way, etc.

Please take the time to add your van's information to your profile/signature as this will help us in our diagnosis.

ihatemybike,

a lot of times transmissions shift funny because of a problem starting with the engine. So if the engine is not putting out enough (expected) power, the transmission will act goofy also.

It makes it a lot easier to diagnose a problem when known faults are corrected.

most people don't realize, a poorly tuned engine, esp on the older vacuum modulated setups, can kill an automatic transmission.

hey there thanks 4 the info so far
ill give u some more imput
i drive a mix city and highwaydriveing
