Poor mpg

[Hostile]

I have been getting 17 mpg on my car for the last six months. When I bought the car back in Febuary it was giving me 23+ average. I did the cap/rotor, plugs/wires, sea foam, cleaned out the v-tec solinoid, New oem tranny oil flush, & the oil changes are done every 4 thousand miles. Any suggestion? I have read a lot of the other threads regarding this, but I already tried most of the solutions I have read. My next move is to buy the two o2 sensors and replace those along with checking the flow on my injectors.

I've been dealing with a car that all of a sudden went from 23-24 to 17-18-mpg for about 3 years now lol. Only thing I have yet to change is fuel injectors. It runs like it came off the dealer lot yesterday though.

Gone through new sparkplugs, wires, cap, rotor, pcv valve, fuel pressure regulator, both o2 sensors. Checked map sensor, coolant sensor, brakes for any dragging, tires 36psi all around, oil changed every 4-5000kms, tranny drained and filled once a year.

Have a look at these 2 threads for more ideas you have not tried if you want

i used to get about 13.3 mpg from my accord. i took it into the dealership and had them run a bunch of tests and they told me it was normal. i drive a lot more conservatively now and get around 18mpg. i feel like this is just the standard :/

I noticed the aftermarket tire and wheels in your pic. Did your mpg change occur after you swapped them? Checked tire pressure?

Also remember driving habits, what's loaded in your car, etc. the easy stuff.

sea foam it

Damn guys, before the tranny went in my coupe I was getting around 27 mpg- and that's not a lot of highway driving either.

The wheels were on for a while before the mph began to suffer. I already sea foamed it. Hopefully when I change the t belt and the o2 sensors things will get better.

check your compression and fuel pressure (residual fuel pressure as well) check for intake and exhaust restrictions

oh and is your cel on? dont start throwing money into parts that dont need to be changed until u figure out your problem?

whats the car idle at and when do u shift (if manual) or when does it shift (if auto)?
