Hey all,
Recently rebuilt my buddy's 85 240 DL engine (2.3L F version) auto trannie. Did all tune up parts including:
Timing Belt, Motor Mount, Rod Bearings,Piston Rings Wire Set, Rotor, Cap, Fuel Filter, Spark Plugs Air Filter, and Coil. Also, new ECM wire harness (updated due to the crappy insulation on the factory one) and gave the ICM wire harness a little help as well, though we did not replace it.
When we reset the timing, we noticed that it was pretty lazy to advance on sharp throttle up. Kinda weird, but we tuned it to as close to 12 degrees +/-2 as we could. The idle was also a little shaky, so that made it more difficult.
After doing this, I got about 150kms on 24 Litres of fuel, to me this is pretty lousy mileage. Just wondering if anyone out there has any experience and can let me know:
- Is this acceptable fuel economy for this car?
- Is it possible that the Ignition control module is faulty or needs to be replaced or looked at?
Thanks t
