I'm getting maybe 13 mpg, thats highwayoutside of the car smells like gas, but there is no apparent leak anywhereIta bad when i have more confidence pulling out in traffic with my 91 s-10 blazer, than i do with this thingCheck engine light comes off and on like its supposed to be on, and hell, sometimes it runs better when it is onI have already replaced the computer, and part of the ignition, My roommate is a certified master mech who loves stangs, been building them for years and has no clue as to what is wrong. there are more problems than what i can remember right now, makes me wabt to get rid of the car, io need help, any ideas??? oh yeah, no matter the speed, down shifting is a bad idea if you want to pass someone, cuz it isn't gonna happen</blockquote>
