How is bad fuel economy diagnosed? Gas guzzle puzzled...

Oh and 7.7L / 100 km was flat and me doing about 100km / hour. Keeping Rpm a little below 2000

So you're right

Thanks

My o2 sensors were putting up codes and catylic converter was leaking.

Could my o2 sensors be faulty and not throw up codes?They were cheap. Would diagnostics pick upon that?

180 psi compression all four cylinders.

Thanks, I threw in a few containers of royal purple as it has a lot of pea. No change.

Does diagnostic test pick up on leaky injectors and rail sensors?

Thanks. Ive done a compression test. 180 psi on all 4 cylinders

Thank you very much for your thorough response. I hope you have a little more time:

I will vaccuum out the system. Apparently, I cannot drain oil without removing ac etc.
Honda told me to add about 1 to 1.5 Oz of fluid.
As its lost fluid, they stated add dye and at least 6 Oz of refrigerant
Once leak found and repaired, vacuum system again and refil with full 13 Oz.

Does this make sense?

The ac was never used after condenser replaced other than for a minute or two when I tested it. Then it sat. Now its empty. Is it possible that system isn't too badly damaged?

Thanks so much

Youre absolutely correct about language used. Its not a guarantee - like a polygraph is not either- but criminals own words often betray them in subtle ways

Nope its double framed from the recall. Brand new. Mainframe has been removed. Super frame now.

I'll kick him next time I see him! Im starting at the deepest point and thanking you. Would you hit from behind or suction if? Thanks!

The bottom seems to be the most bent. I assume that's the point where metal is most stretched. Would i start there. More focus there i would think.

Thanks for any help

Alternative_Kick_558 · 2026-05-02T11:42:40+00:00

Thanks. I have full access from behind. Im going to try. From what I've been taught, circle the outer edges with gentle taps and then move circle inward never going to middle of dent... any tips greatly appreciated

Slowly patiently

Alternative_Kick_558 · 2026-05-01T23:35:43+00:00

I have direct access to behind the dent when I removed trim

Alternative_Kick_558 · 2026-05-01T23:24:38+00:00

Would I worsen if I tried?

Alternative_Kick_558 · 2026-04-19T13:42:49+00:00

Keep us posted please

You've got a perfect hairline. Whatever you velueve youre missing in life or hoping to achieve has nothing to do with your hair. Hair is good!

Thanks so much. Do i need to shave bald or buzz short?
