I have been fighting what seems to be a rich condition, exhaust being black and poor mileage 12 mpg mixed and it doesn't seem to matter how I drive it! Changed CAT'S and put on a Magnaflow exhaust, sealed the intake from the engine bay, IAT's are close to actual but heat soaking is present even with a wrapped charge tube in traffic. Have had Black Bear do some tuning for me with logs from above changes. They thought it was incomplete combustion and recommended running only premium fuel. The tuning has brought the performance up greatly, but 0 effect on mileage. When monitoring MAP kpa any type of incline that allows motor to hold a high gear low rpm yields 80 plus kpa readings consistently. I know these tires are a considerable drag along with the box I am driving but something seems to be a miss! Cylinder deactivation is turned off, long term trims balance out nicely, short term trims operate correctly, only thing I see is high MAP and high CAT temps. Cruising they hang around 1500 plus and I have seen this indicates a rich condition. Smoked motor, EVAP system and exhaust and have found nothing. Idle the MAP is a consistent 36 kpa. Runs nice but black exhaust and mileage are stumping me!
