I've cleaned the IAC,MAF and replaced the PCV. Both were in good shape.
Also the plugs,wires and coil are new. Took it into my Tech's garage and he checked it for vacuum leaks, the EGR & solonoid and put it on the scope - nothing. There was never a CEL light through this whole thing anyway.
The timing belt is new.
The car runs great while driving it. Lots of pick up,no hesitation. The gas milage is poor.
He performed a fuel system flush/check yesterday -$89.

Any ideas? I'm running out of them here.


I'll bet the cams weren't checked when the belt was changed.

My intake cam was advanced, maybe 5-10 degrees. Ran good, but it wasn't on the money.
