Fuel consumption !

[vtach]

Hey People,
I recently put a short ram air intake and when i would hit vtec for a while my fuel gauge would go down significantly then go back up to where it was when i drive normal. I reset the ecu and change oxygen sensor after i realized this. Has anyone have same problem or ideas to help me . Thanks :D :D :D :D :cool:

Yea no need to worry this is common problem in the 90s Honda, I wouldnt be too worried I have owned 4 civics with this issue, the light will still come on the correct time aka time to pull in to the next shell/bp lol.

You will also notice, taking a hard right turn your fuel gauge will move towards full more vice versa for a hard left turn.

Going down hill will fool the meter even more closer to Full, and vice versa going uphill

Just make sure you reset the trip meter every time you fill up, if you do end up having problems down the road this MAY help you pin point your issue.

wait wait wait how many km are you getting to ur tank and im assuming its a b18c2 now what mods are done?

i think the problem is fixed up people. I was driving today hit VTEC and it was abnormally loud, also since i bought the car i kept hearing wired noises on acceleration. I checked out my exhaust turned out there was just one loose bolt holding my cat to the headers, so the connection was very loose and a lot of air leakage. I got some exhaust cement and two bolts, tightened it all up now my gas needle is all good plus my exhaust sounds 10 times better :D !

this has nothing to do with fuel consumption...
