Fri, 19 November 2004 01:37 Your celica feels like it has no power below 4000 because of the TVIS. When you hit around 4g, the manifold vacumm pressure opens a set of butterfiles on the intake which effectively doubles the amount of intake air going into the engine. There is stuff on the net about TVIS if you want to learn more. Try driving around without going over 4 and watch your ecomony increase. My 162 with a 1st gen JDM engine gets about 10L per 100km around town and about 10L per 120-130km country driving. If you are getting shocking economy, change your oxygen sensor. This is located on the exhaust manifold. It is one of the main reasons 162's get shitty economy. People who have changed these report doubling (!) in fuel economy. Your celica should have a 60L tank. When the gauge reads 'empty' there is usually still over 5 or 10L left. The 162 gauge is one of the shittiest gauges i have ever encountered. Mine drops to almost zero when i go up any kind of hill. The only way to get a true indication of economy is to do what setsuna said. [Report message to a moderator]
