i'm getting VERY low gas milage, and i think its partly due to the car running abit rich. heres why: i think the unichip isn't mapped properly (not sure which way, but maybe its mapped for the wrong octane) i also think the ecu is pulling timing a bit, especially when i go WOT (cause you can feel it most then) and that may also be the cause why i feel some loss in performance.
possible solution: do you think that re-gapping the spark plugs at a higher setting might do a better job of igniting the air/fuel mixture? i have the NGK colder range spark plugs gapped at .28 right now. is it possible that because of the grounding mod i did, that there is less resistance/interference in the wires, and therefore the spark plugs might be in need of being re-gapped? my basic conception of this is that by gapping the spark plugs higher, you produce a stronger spark which will do a better job of igniting the fuel mixture - resulting in both more power and more efficient running car.
