SpudHeaD Fully Automotive Webmaste Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: Westfield Age: 31 Posts: 3	Excess Fuel Consumption and TPS Problem Gday i recently purchased a ZL fairlane with the 250crossflow EFI motor in it ive heard these motors arent the best but this one seems to run very nicely in tune with everything the only issue is that when i give it hard acceleration it blows crap loads of black smoke ( fuel i assume ) and i reckon it could be a little less hungry on the fuel i just noticed that the TPS ( Throttle position switch/sensor ) is disconnected .. on connecting it , the car dies and wont idle could this be the problem for excess fuel consumption? __________________ Cheers Ryan Annear - Fully Automotive Webmaster - Perths Premiere Automotive Scene http://www.fullyautomotive.com
