I know the 2.9 is happiest above 2500rpm, ive been driving mine around 1500 and it seems to handle it fine, doesnt accelerate too quick but it can definitely hold the speed, im talking like city driving under 50mph though.
my problem is i think i have fuel problems, cause if i get it anywhere near 3000rpm it uses way more gas than a little v6 should, ive driven 54 miles on $10 worth of gas i put in it last weekend, if i had driven it in the powerband, that wouldve lasted me 2 days at most. it also uses alot of fuel just by giving it 3/4 throttle at any rpm. ive heard a few different things as to what it might be but its not EGR, mine doesnt have that. I think it might be the injectors sticking, but then wouldnt it get bad mileage in the city too? i was about to buy injectors, but i tought id ask on here before i spend $100. i know its normal to get below 20mpg with 33s and 3.45s but im getting better city mpg than i am highway. anyone have any ideas?
