bad mileage/loss of power
Its a 92 dx hatch with a d16z6/auto tranny swap in it. I just got done swapping this motor and trans in about a month ago and have been going back and forth with issues. After throwing a p28-a52 in a lot of the performance problems were taking care of but not completely. I do a a ton of highway driving in this car and notice I'm only getting between 200-230 miles on a full tank, plus any kind of rolling hills on the highway I have to kick in passing just to get up them. It does not feel as quick as other civics I have driven in the past with this setup. It has new water pump, timing belt, plugs, wires, fuel filter, cat converter.

Re: bad mileage/loss of power (mustninty20)
I did some research and saw another post about bad mileage and someone had said that if you pop the bottom hose off the FPR look for gas dripping, this might indicate it is faulty. I tried that and i have a river of gas down my driveway and into the street. Does this mean the FPR is bad, or was that just bad advice? I did it with just the key turned forward, to the on position.
