Pulled the LF wheel & liner to inspect the Purge valve under the fender by the door, found the 90* hose on top of the canister had a crack I couldn't see from underneath. One more source out of the way.

Re: Getting only 15-16 MPG combined driving...

I believe it was leaking from the wires feed thru. I potted it with Seal All. Definitely a vacuum leak for the tank press. Time will tell if there's any other source leak.

Re: Getting only 15-16 MPG combined driving...

OR...
Do you gentlemen think it may be leaking FROM the Wires where they go into the pump causing the fuel to leak out & the Vacuum leak also?

Re: Getting only 15-16 MPG combined driving...

Well, I've decided out of necessity to tear back into the old V70 to try to find the small Evap leak CEL issue AND fix the fuel mileage at 14mpg issue. I thought I would check the fuel pump and was prepared to do the cut out mod and surprise surprise someone else has already done that. But it looks ...

Re: Getting only 15-16 MPG combined driving...

Anyone happen to have a wiring diagram to the Purge valve? I don't see the connector ANYWHERE. I guess likely that was removed as well. I can build my own harness. Just need to know where it goes.

Re: Getting only 15-16 MPG combined driving...

The $25 MAF works as advertized. Nothing wrong with used parts that work. A smoke test will not detect all problems. To wit: I found that the Canister Purge shut off valve is MISSING. The hose was spliced so smoke would not be escaping to show a problem. But not having the valve there means its open...

Re: Getting only 15-16 MPG combined driving...

I took it in for diagnostics to a non-dealer European Car guy that was willing to tell me what was wrong with it. He told me the PCV system needed replaced, the O2 sensor had no output, and the MAF sensor was not working. I have the PCV & the o2 sens but haven't had time to tear into the engine ...
