2 miles and needing more gas
good day/night gent/ladies(if any)
i got an 84 se and it burns a lot of gas ...no smoke and the oil preesyre gauge shows compression to be okay...i've had mostly gsl's(12a) and had 1 se but don't remember it burning gas like this..15miles starting on a 1/2 tank , and by the time i drive the 15 miles it a little past 1/4...i also was told that this model(se) has a third injector (cold start) and that they get stuck..where is it? i've readmy hayes and can't find it..by the way should there be a ticking sound (sounds like a fuel injector{ticksfaster when i raise the rpm})should it be making noise..i don't remember my other se making that sound.
help anyone fuel prices are raising..:o

i had the same thing happen to my car and i could not figure it out . come to find out i had a leak in a fuel line . when steped on the gas the faster it would leak out . also look at you fuel pump see if you see any leaks .

_________________________________________is the car ported or have an aftermarket carb on it? Do you romp on it as well? Both of those are huge factors.

no the car is stock se.. get in to it once in a while..i think its a bad injector...something is making a ticking sound under the hood..

checked under the car no leaks that i could see( car was on a lift)...i really don't want to take it to the dealer ...don't trust dealership

sorry for the dealay in responding (work long hours), up early home late..79-84 rex thanks for the insight...i was told about the damper thing to and will check on the as well test the injector for resistance..proper working order.
smnc...
That's probably your solenoids... Check your TPS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
i will check that as well thanks
tiers....
Ticking can also be the OMP (oil metering pump) check if it is operating ok and not leaking
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the ticking is coming from the top of the throttle body... but i could be wrong ...i'll check that as well..
again thank to all...
