Finally got my logger. Acquired some data and not sure what to do next.
Is there a tech article on how to read these logs? Didn't find one when I searched.

Let me know if it's too much data, I'll cut out what is necessary.

About the car: 95 TSI. Intake pipe and 2 1/2 inch exhaust. Pretty much Stock otherwise.

Just did a new Belt and Camshaft position sensor.

Runs great. Good power. But eats allot more gas than it used to. It started doing it prior to the CamShaft position sensor and I figured it would be back to normal after I fixed it. Not true.
I used to get about 300-350 a tank of Hwy driving. (@24 Mpg).
I now get 220 miles on a full tank. 90% Hwy. (@15 Mpg).

So something is way off still. I checked for any drag. I just replaced the rear hubs and everything moves freely.
From the log is there any way to tell if it's an injecotor or something else?
CEL has not been triggered. So I am assuming it's not an 02.

Thanx in advance!

because you're mostly stock, from my experience, I would say its the front O2 sensor. My talon was pretty much stock and I was having the same difficulties. My suggestion: check for boost leaks first then check your O2 sensor.
 
Will do. I'll have to try and get a better run also. I was doing this while getting on the highway. Need to get someone to Start and stop the log for me...

I also noticed yesterday that my TPS never goes above 82%. So i'll have to check that out as well...

Compared to other logs posted, it looks like my timing is fairly high too...

Thanx, Duane

I hate to bring this back from the dead, but did you ever fix your tps reading? I noticed the same on my logs, never gets above 84%. I'm asking what you did to fix it, if you even did.
