Re: 1990 240/DL Gas Mileage Problem

Well yesterday the car broke down, it had to be towed home. It would start, and run, but only if I gave it gas, if I take my foot off the gas, the car died. My uncle, a life long mechanic, said it could be the fuel filter. Though, I will see if I can check your suggestions to, just to make sure of e...

Re: 1990 240/DL Gas Mileage Problem

I'm pretty sure the injectors are -working- just not efficiently? I'm going to run some injector cleaner through and see if that changes anything. If not, I might try and test with the Ohmmeter... If I know how. Anyways, I'll report back with any info- Thanks!

Re: 1990 240/DL Gas Mileage Problem

Fuel line turned out fine,and the gas cap has a good seal. I was told it might be clogged injectors too... So, maybe that is it? It does start rough, though after driving around for a while it seems a lot smoother... How could i check the injectors?

Re: 1990 240/DL Gas Mileage Problem

I'll see what I can find out, I'll have my friend help me check the fuel line. I think the gas cap is good, though I don't know for sure. I'm not sure if the smell is coming from the gas cap, but I'm pretty sure it's coming from the back half of the car, it's not a strong smell, but it's definitely ...

Re: 1990 240/DL Gas Mileage Problem

Also, I just wanted to add. I sometimes smell gas fumes outside the car, though, I've checked (as best I could) for leaks. I filled the tank, and peeked under, and nothing is dripping... Sooo...? Thanks for any speedy replies! I rely on this car to get to school :)
