after adjusting tappets car drinking fuel

[Rasputin]

No. But if he did ... the ECU tends to add in more fuel then necessary while it adjusts itself after a reset. I think just so that it's on the safe side and doesn't underfuel. This would normally have settled down and returned to normal after a week, though.
Is that what you meant, jdmTYPE R?

maybe woolworths fuel isnt good

mine does the same thing im currently sitting on half a tank and clocked 210 kms? its being weird im using and have always been using bp ultimate 98 octane. it used to do about 250kms when i was sitting on half a tank im going to try reset my ecu tomorro. i know theres a DIY on how to reset the ECU but should i do it when my engine is cold or when its warmed up?

no i havent reset my ecu, i get about 180-200 on half and after that it just dissapears..ive done the tappets several times..how do i check my o2 sensors?cause i was thinking that might be the problem and my revs seem to jump alot, sometimes it seems like its gonna stall

did you do the conversion ?? are all your vacuum lines correct ?

[JasonGilholme]

Did you do any other work apart from the tappets?

Maybe they're not closing fully. Might have done them up too far. I'd go back and double check man.

tight tappets could cause performance problems, never really left them out of spec enough to find out it if affect fuel economy as it will burn out a valve or something.

was your engine stone cold when you adjusted the tappets, aslo did you rotate the crank shft to TDC for each cylinder before you adjusted the tappets.

[90xsi]

yes engine was stone cold,
and yes the crank was at tdc,
engine was in the car when i got it,
all vacuum lines seem to be intact,
but i will check for leaks cause a b16 should get atleast 450kms
im not getting anything near that

Yeah got the same prob. It seems to be taking more fuel. Car is running smoother, but idle is funny. I got mine done at the mechanics.

Anyone with any other thoughts?

check your o2 sensor it might been stuff after more then 10 years of usage

Actually that's my post at his place. his problem yeah is more serious, stupid snails seem to chew and spit out petrol. hehe

Yeah my b16a seem to be smoother, revs up better, but taking more petrol.
BTW i've just reset my ECU also to see if it fixes up the problem.
I also get a werid idle now after adjustments.

I got mine done at Hannys so i am assuming they know what they are doing.

P.S no other mods have been done in the short time
