Re: Fuel economy - bad to worse
what was said to me to do here is check the carb throttle sender or more the
throttle body itself.....gummed up and covering the throttles'
sensor......if this doesn't solve the problem then you will have done a job
you should have done antway on the 4.0 ...jeep forces the reburn of stuff
that clogs the sensors at a important junction...
