Hi guys,
I bought an EB Fairmont series 1 a few weeks ago and it's a beautiful car but I've noticed a few oddities and I'd like some opinions;
1. It has the EA Ghia style climate control and unless u manually close all the dash vents, u can't set the system to recirc. It is working when the system is on but when the display says off air will always flow through the vents as u drive. Why?
2. It has everything else except power windows and I noticed today there's a large plug under where the power window switches would be. Could I be so lucky as to need only window reg's, switches and door trims to convert to electric windows?
3. The best fuel economy I've seen so far is 530 klms on a full tank with 50/50 city/highway...avg according to the trip computer is 11.1 lt/100klms. This was achieved driving painfully slow with no more than 1/4 throttle application the whole time, is this in line with other guy's EA/EB 3.9MPFI?
4. I dynoed it the other day and it had exactly 100 rwkw completely standard @200,000 klms, I was suprised with this figure I thought it would've been less is it in the ballpark? I was also watching the (new) o2 sensor operate with a 5 led graph o2 sensor tester on road and on the dyno and I noticed the o2 sensor goes to open loop (full rich) at about 1/2 throttle or so is this normal? The a/f ratio at wide open throttle was 11.7:1, I thought this was a bit too rich what do u reckon?
Thanks guys...get replying!
