Further to my fuel economy issue, I notice that there is a strong whiff of fuel/petrol through the oil filler hole. Seems a bit gassy.
Thoughts for the SR20De engine?
Compression test happening the weekend. I'll also try and do a power balance. Will be doing an oil change too. Dunno if on this engine, petrol can leak into the oil?

If the rings are gone on the pistons, combustion gases and pre-combustion mixtures can contaminate the oil. There always tends to be a slight whiff from oil on any engine, just because of the way it works.
Does the car burn oil? If it's leaking mixture into the oil, then it will more than likely be allowing a s*it load of oil into the combustion mixture.
something causing drastic over-fuelling? Coolant sensor parhaps?
Nah. Exhaust is clean. No smoke. It's been quite a solid car. Guess I'll find out about the condition of the engine when I have to remove the spark plugs for the compression test.
Thanks Simon
Consult reports that's fine. So the ECU is reading the correct temperature, and the dash displays it correctly too.
I'll have a think about over fuelling. I've got some read outs for the Injector Pulse and stuff... Not quite sure what that should be....
Cheers Simon
