fuel system leak

[strada-caster]

Problem found.The water drain plug was not air tight.So lot of air was entering in the system.
I replace the water sensor assembly and now all is ok.

awesome, gotta love the easy fix.


looks like my problem was the valve were way out of wack.
I had the following readings at warm
cyl1-intake-.006in
cyl1-exhaust-.006
cyl2-I-.002
cyl2-E-.007
cyl3-I-.007
cyl3-E-.000
cyl4-I-.002
cyl4-E-.000

All were put to the proper setting of .010in at warm.
feels like power is back, fuel economy I will know in a week or so.

update.

fuel economy did change for the better for one fill up. went from 12.5l/100km to 11.5l/100km. now it is 13l/100km for the last couple fill ups.
I'm confused. The truck has been eating some oil. approx 700ml in 3500km. Part of this is from a bad half moon seal, the rest is burning off only on start-up as far as I can tell.

Any ideas? would oil burning make for bad fuel consumption?
