The car loses power and feels like it is either fuel starved or running way too rich. Low power at high speeds. Even when floored the rpms will not increase and power is stagnant. Pressure is good in fuel line, compression pressure is good, converter checked good. I've changed the plugs, plug wires, coil packs, cleaned fuel injectors, and changed O2 sensor. (it actually ran better for a while when I unplugged the O2 sensor). Could the problem be a clogged fuel filter or bad EGR? It does require a little more crank to start now days. Fuel mileage is lower by 25-35%. Sidom Veteran / Moderator Dec 16, 2009, 8:09 PM Post #2 of 4 (1311 views) Re: decreased mpg Sign In Is the check engine light on?
