[QUOTE="Flar, post: 337737, member: 10250"] Ive got an essentially bone stock 94 GT with 117k miles, I just replaced the wires with MSD 9.5mm Super cunducter wires, MSD Distributer cap and roter and NGK v-power spark plugs. I accidently bought 1 heat range cooler plugs then I was supposed to but the guys at JBA said it would be fine, but anyway. Im getting 120 miles out of a tank!! Thanks less then 9 MPG, this is ridiculus, I shift at around 2200 RPM and hardly ever go WOT, I bent one of the 02 sensors when I was changing out the clutch but before last week it ran alright (about 140-160 miles per tank) and the check engine light came on in 5th but once I let off the gas and went back on it would go away. Recently (in the last week when my milliage went terrible) the light would come on in 1st, and sometimes 3rd. Tomorrow I was going to go pick up new 02 sensors, a new air filter, new motorcraft plugs (right heat range, and reset the ECU, do you guys think that this will fix my milliage, or do you think it could be something else?
