|
|
This morning when i got in my car my gas level seemed a lot lower than when i parked it the night before. I notice this a lot. Another thing thats weird is this morning when i started the car it was about 1k higher rpm at idle and it went down about 500 rpm after a minute but still 500 higher than normal. Why would it do that?

Fuel level:
Pull the carpet in the trunk, on the right side you'll see the fuel level sensor stuff, clear the contacts. This might solve the problem, worked for me. |

Did the car actually rev higher or did the guage just say it was revving higher?
Your dist cap may not be on tight enough? |

It actually was higher, i could hear the difference. But it doesnt do that anymore so i dont think it would be the dist cap. _________________ 1982 924 NA gray/silver with black int. |
