Sup everyone,
Recently when I was driving my car was acting strange on boost, and i noticed my Pro-sport boost/vac gauge was reading 20psi, when i was going up the hill (yes i was boosting) I know for a fact that i had it set to around 14-15psi. The car seemed slow and like i wasn't boosting at all so I pulled over to have a look.
Under the hood and checked all my vacuum hoses, everything seemed to have looked alright, but I noticed the vacuum on my gauge was reading close to zero at idle so I revved the engine a bit and noticed the gauge going from around 0 inHG to 5psi... Strange. I turned the car off and let it sit for a minute or so, then fire her back up. all was working fine gauge was reading correctly.
The other day I filled my (to full) with woolworths 98 octane fuel, and drove around a bit. I noticed that my fuel gauge on 3/4 tank after I had only done around 60km!! Before i was getting close to 100km on a 1/4. Also at this time i noticed my vacuum gauge was reading around 10-12inHG on idle, before it was reading around 17-20inHG on idle.
I have no idea what has happened to my car. Why is the vacuum reading closer to zero on idle? and why am i chewing through fuel?
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
