Interested in this also.... I think it is were the battery ground is at on the motor, or in that proximity. But thats because thats were the FSM is showing the coolant temp sensor.

So I think part of the reason my MPG is down the crapper is because of the spark plugs. I've been using NGK BKR6E-11 since about October... I replaced the Bosch +2 plugs with the NGK ones.

Well I've been playing around with the plugs etc. Well I stuck my Bosch +2's back on and drove for about 46 miles fueled up, and I had to force 1.3 gallons in. By force I mean I had to hold it the nozzle and watch until the gas was all the way up top! Because it punched out at .300 of a gallon right of way!

Either way, even with forcing the gas in I got 36MPG Mixed!!!

I have some NGK Iridium plugs on the way so maybe those will help.

I was showing the plugs to my dad and didn't mention that they are fairly new, but he was gonna snap it in half because he said it was bad because of the yellow/brown stuff around the plug...

(ps the black is the sharpie mark that I just put on there )

what does changing the sending unit have to do with better mpg? all it is is a float that tells you if your full or empty right? also i have changed my 02 dizzy rotor plugs wires changed my cat pretty much have done everything and i cant get pass 225 i use to get 300 all day long but i have notice it getting worse and worse
