    Question , crank and pulley

    I'd say get a new belt because that one that fell off most likely got damaged when it fell off, not really a problem if it stretches, just any edges it might've gotten when it fell off :)

    420 Breaks up at higher RPMs

    What I'm saying is the plugs should come pre-gapped if you bought the right plugs. I've never had to gap any plugs after I buy them and never had any issue with loss of power or fuel economy.

    ...What do you mean you're gapping the plugs? If you have to gap them you most likely don't have the right ones. These cars aren't carb'd.

    Bad Gas Mileage [Merged 9-6]

    high idle is killing your mileage. Fix the vacuum leak and that will fix your problem. Time to start hunting. Have you done any work recently on the manifold? Check all the rubber hoses in the engine bay and see if you can find your leak. It might be too small to detect the hissing noise for an...

    Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    umm...did you try scanning?? Otherwise you just wasted a ton of cash throwing parts at it like a blind fool (no dis intended). If it doesn't connect, then you most likely need a new ecu, but at least scan it before you piss toss another couple hundred in the trash can.:rolleyes: Get your...

    Bad Gas Mileage [Merged 9-6]

    Trust me when I say this, if your fuel filter was bad enough to mess up your fuel trim, I doubt your car would be drivable. You need to list ALL the issues with the car in one place.List them ALL here, and then ONLY then, we can make a somewhat approximate guess as to what your problem is...

    Bad Gas Mileage [Merged 9-6]

    170 on a tank? Are you drinking that shit!? I understand you have AWD, but that alone wont bring your mileage down that much.I drove 300 miles and still was at 3/4 tank LEFT. After a fill up, 100 miles usually brings it to the "Full" line.This is just with changing driving habits and MAKING...

    Amazing Fuel Economy in my 420a

    Looks like we have a change in the tank slope. I'll have to map this into my calculation:175/(0.22*16.3)=48.8mpg pace.

    misfire after hot.. and key off restart.

    If the issue resurfaces, try the egr valve. I had the exact same problem. This fixed it.

    E85 on stock engine?

    I just didn't think it needed to go on as long as it did. I'm just calling what I see...I was hoping to see more info, but it's the same stuff repeated in the second page...which I think almost the entire second page can be deleted based on that factor alone.
